Thread Name: [Formerly BS:] Musical snobbery
Subject: RE: BS: Musical snobbery
Life is too short to drink bad wine or listen to bad music... Guess that makes me a snob???

Hey, let's get real here... I appreciate good music... Even genres I'm not generally into... I know if someone is messing up even if it's opera... And I know if they ain't messin' up... Guess that comes from listening to lots of music...

The P-Vine and I were at this monstrously large antique/collectables mall yesterday and they were playing "old time" (not bluegrass) music... Well, the P-Vine is a classically trained singer and it was really bugging her... She kept complaining that the folks were off key... I tried to explain that a lot of mountain music is sung in modal keys but that didn't make her happy... She just hasn't been exposed and therefore not able to appreciate old time music...

I donno... I guess that makes her kinda snobbish...
