I love music.
I never know which artist I am listening to, or the name of the piece.
Not quite true, I can pick out the beatles and groups from my youth. But I have never had the facility for remembering which group is which and goes with what sound. I recognize the names, know the tunes, but could never match them together.
I think it is because I liked many different genres, my roommates always had the larger music collection, and I listened along for the ride.
Carlos knows many different artists, names of band members, little bits of knowledge that he shares on occasion. One of his favorite games with me is to ask who is singing. If I guess correctly, usually based on an internal initial guess, it is cause for note. Sometimes I get a bit irritated, but it is just one of those little games people who have been together for a long time play.
Tonight I mentally guessed Dave Matthews at the first question, but did not answer. (It was Dave) Was I right or wrong since I didn’t put the answer out there for all to hear? About 1/2 hour later I was sure the sound was the same and that is how I answered the question, “sounds the same.” There were several other songs in between the two Daves. I recognized the Indigo Girls, others not so much.
This is really neither here nor there, kind of like how I feel tonight.
