I like the Baroque style very much. I visited Handel's flat/museum in London a few years ago and was thrilled to see one of his harpsichords. I think Back will always be my favourite though.

Do you mean Bark?
I love the fact that the now joined-together 23 & 25 Brook Street of the Handel House Museum means that there is now a shrine to Jimi Hendrix having lived there for a couple of years, though I am a bit sceptical about the following, from a Guardian feature:
Many assume that Hendrix knew nothing of the Handel connection: in fact he was charmed when he learned of it... some have even claimed to detect Handel riffs in the thunderous guitar chords of later Hendrix recordings.
BTW, does everyone have a scary bloke staring around the edge of the BCG pages? Putting me off my coffee... (I know we need adverts, but it is also putting me off going to the Soho Theatre...)

If you are ever in Freshwater on the Isle of Wight, look for the garden with the Hendrix sculpture. It is on the left hand side of the main approach to the town from the Military Road which runs along the western side of the island, ie it's prior to Totland. Speaking of islands, I reckon this is one of New Zealand's finest:
