RE: How To Save A Life
Thank you! I wanted to say so much about this, and spent hours trying to do so. Turned out that few words did the job much more effectively than many.

You might be surprised to hear that I too like a little jazz once in a while. From the names I'll give you you can tell I never went too deep, but I am a fan most especially of Clifford Brown, and John Coltrane. Miles Davis is right up there for me. Dizzy, the Yardbird, and the Monk are also notable in my book.
You might also be surprised that although I've seen a variety of live concerts -- from Metallica to Tool to Xiu Xiu to Weird Al Yankovich to Little Richard to many times over the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra when it was being conducted by Osmo Vanska and most especially the times they broke out in Mahlerian Symphony -- I avoid Live Music whenever possible, inexplicably to me why but I have a distaste for it, and always prefer Recorded Music.
Also, I'm not sure if you still check in on me like before, but if you do you will notice that I was making some live music meself this morning though it now will forever be recorded music. Also in attempt to make things better with @amazona06 in case I may have offended her yesterday.
Glad to know you and I are still on good terms, my dear friend. I was feeling a lil cray-cray yesterday, but after a good night's rest am much more normalized.
Any big plans for this weekend?
I'm on a lunch-break now, but by 530 pm CST I'll be free until Sunday.

I only like live music. In small venues. I never cared much about music at all until I learned that about myself. I want to be within 50 feet of the musicians. Nothing short of that floats my boat.
Yeh and the more I think about it the small venue thing would prolly serve me also. I think it is the usual VOLUME of live music that turns me off to it.
I don't feel safe in crowds, so I only went to one of the big concerts. hated every minutes. Carnegie hall puts me to sleep. Opera too. Out like a light.
My grandpa played a lil fiddle in his day, and I once asked him: "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?"
He said: "Practice."
It is needless to say I haven't been there yet.
oh no, I was not offended at all!! I did not see the message until a few moments ago! I tend to answer with some delay - sorry :$
