Writer's Block: Bitter aftertaste
May. 27th, 2010 10:06 am[Error: unknown template qotd]
Reading through the answers to this question, I discovered that most people don't. I wish I could say I was in that same category. But I'm just not. Music is such a huge part of my life. HUGE, as you guys know. I teach it; I play it; I read about it; I listen to it; I watch DVDs of it; I analyze it; And I just used more semi-colons there than I have in my entire life.
Anyway, music really is a huge part of my life. And I do have pretty particular tastes in music. My main interests are Classical and Irish traditional, though I enjoy other kinds of music. I don't think I judge people as in thinking they are somehow less than me, but I do find myself cringing over some people's musical tastes and realizing I'm totally not open-minded about music.
That being said, this is SO MUCH MORE important for a relationship than friendship. I can roll my eyes over some of the things my friends like and just choose not to listen to it. I'm sure some feel the same about the music I enjoy and love. But when it comes to a relationship I've always needed someone who not only loves the music I do, but plays it and really knows it. David knows quite a bit about classical, though he leaves the more theoretical and analytical stuff up to me. But he does know a lot about chord progressions and he enjoys the music. He REALLY knows Irish trad music, which I picked up in 2003 and continue to learn more and more about. We click musically and that's important to me!
