Couldn't find exactly this, though it's been scattered in many threads.
What are some of the best descriptions, comparisons, observations of particular music you've heard, said, or recall? Not music in general, but something particular, even an instrument. The way an irish tune darts about like a moth around a light, is one I heard.

And particular styles or player's styles. How you think of your own style, past or present. Sometimes someone will toss off a remark that seems to really get at it. I find it harder with music than other stuff, harder with music I like than with music I don't.

   Any good ones?

Certain types of picking and pickers make me just want to kick up my heels; in fact I cannot sit still to them. One is Justa Picker's Nazareth Pilgrim Blues. I can see a whole scene in my mind with that and my feet cannot be still; it's go so much joy and movement in it and he does such a superb job of it.

Thanks,
