Taste in music? Hadn't thought of that in a while. Music's just kind of a natural thing, all around me.

I've fallen off the guitar playing lately but today...I listened to some bluegrass, and a fine homemade mix of banjo stuff someone loaned me, Haydn trios, Laurie Anderson's 'Mister Heartbreak.' That's a great album.

Heard some overtures too. Need to find someone to help me identify a passage in the overture to Don Giovanni by Mozart. Early on, where the music shifts from its solid opening to its next section...there's a section there, maybe 6 bars or so, where there seems to be two different tempi and the two groups of instrumentation kind of shift back and forth over each other. Very surreal. Or ethereal. Need to find out what's going on there so I can describe it better.

Typical day, music-wise. I enjoy reading over the music threads here when I have the time. Learned a lot. Need to go up "above the line" someday and ask the Brits about Music Hall music. I don't know squat about it and wouldn't know where to begin a study. I'll do some searches first.

Over and out.
