Today I was at the opening of the new location of an old kung fu school in Hong Kong. The master there is a friend of one of my kung fu teachers. I was playing cymbals in the percussion ensemble that accompanied a lion dance, which was doing a sort of blessing ritual for the place. This is one type of martial music, while a regimental pipe band would be another.

Anything that you might hear out on the drill field while marching or during a parade. Regimental pipes, J.P. Sousa, drum and bugle corps, that sort of thing. Always runs a bit of a shiver up my back and gets the blood moving. I love it.

I haven't read all of the posts on this thread Mickey so this may have been pointed out already, but Amazon has a significant selection of Roger Whittaker and Itunes has a few as well.
He really does have a great voice.
Best of luck!

The Saturday evening ritual of The House of Hair, with Dee Snider. That's turned down very low, and I've been reading a book.

I'm listening to a really weird/kinda cool dubstep song called Promises remixed by Skrillex and Nero

Most days Oldies 103.7 San Francisco, though yesteday it was an iheart radio oldies station out of St Louis.
Not my favorite all time music, but cheesy and upbeat enough to work to with the occassional need to crank it up....while not really offending anyone. Can't call the cops for someone jammin' out on Neil Diamond.

Very often listen to mixed cds of Sinatra and co....big fan of Louis Prima, etc.
