Well, Jerry, Jan does like music--though I'd say that, like you, my tastes are far more wide-ranging than hers. She can't stand Sephardic music--I find it haunting. She has a low tolerance for madrigals. Doesn't like reggae as much as I do. Finds Bob Wills' interjections in his songs really annoying--I love'em. Not enthusiastic about Bulgarian womens' groups. I'm fascinated. Has a lower doo-wop threshhold than I do. Etc.

She does like "art-rock"--Emerson Lake and Palmer, etc. a lot more than I do.

And she's absolutely and totally hooked on CMT--loves country music videos, of all things-- and country music as on the radio now--which is really 70's rock under another name. And I like a good bit of it--at least the part that shows a sense of humor. Which even Toby Keith does, amazingly enough.

Fortunately, she loves to do duets with me. Unfortunately her throat is a problem for that
these days.

The problem with MA is that I suppose you have to actually want to change--and I'll have to say the will is not there.
