Let's talk music, no genre boundaries

Somedays we chew gum too.

I can't speak for anyone else but I don't feel the least apologetic for feeling passionate and passionately intetested in, music.

In spite of the fact that Bob chose to not check his cynicism at the door and felt it was ok to ignore decorum, or simple pleasantry, I will try and be proactive and point out what he is missing.  One never knows. This, of course, is assuming that he likes music at all.

For starters, Bob refers to all the “minutia” that we waste time discussing.  Minutia?!  Seriously?! Most of what we discuss here is only scratching the surface of all that music is and can be learned about it.  So, Bob, join the party!  What music do you listen to?

I’m posting a youtube video of Baryshnikov dancing Twyla Tharp. Her brilliance can be seen in the unusual, hesitating, stagger-steps, and sexual moves he makes. Also her humor which is often about the sexes. If you don’t like this, then you truly don’t like Twyla Tharp. I was lucky enough to meet her one day. My wife and I had gone to see her company dance at UCLA and she was sitting behind us. We struck up a conversation and she was absolutely down to earth.

I don't really have to think a lot about what to post. My problem is also that I don't have a ton of time, but I can't converse about this subject with anyone else. My wife's eyes would be rolling at my first sentence. And I really enjoy talking about music. 

As far as coming up with a subject, for me this forum is a conversation. There are so many triggers for me to react to, and I have many ideas that I don't have time to post. So, thinking about what to post doesn't take much time. But I'm a conversationalist, and I never run out of ideas during a conversation. So, it's all kind of natural for me. Plus I have been listening to music for well over sixty years so I have a lot of information stored on the hard drive (or cloud?).
