kinds of music are you into
uh well i i like lots of different kinds of music
yeah same here
uh
my uh my uh
upbringing was in classical music but um i really enjoy um
uh-huh
all all different kinds of music for example
i i really get a kick out of Rush and uh and Pink Floyd
uh-huh
they just played here in Atlanta not too long ago
oh yeah
uh-huh
they played uh with uh Primus
have you heard of them
um no i don't think so
yeah i didn't i didn't get to go to it then
i know some people that did and they they said it was a really great show
yeah yeah i'm sure it was um i also like jazz
uh-huh what kind like modern or
and
um well yeah well yeah i like Fusion but i also like uh the classics
yeah i'm kind of i'm more into the the traditional like um
Flonies Smunk and uh
Cole Don Cole Train maybe
uh i like Winten Mersalis
yeah he's great
yeah
he is he's very good
he was i think he's i read in the paper i was thinking about going down to the Jazz festival in New Orleans it's like a i think might be the end of April
but um
i think he's supposed to be playing there he played in he played in town in here in Atlanta a little while ago too but
i didn't have the money it was like eighteen bucks or something
yeah now i saw him along time ago before he had achieved fame at the uh Jazz Festival they had in Cleveland
oh really
oh really God that must've been great
yeah he he is really good um i i i even enjoy uh some of the old timers like even uh uh from like the big band era like Bennie Goodman or
uh-huh
uh i saw him play uh when i was a kid also uh of course he by that time he was he was an old man but it was still fun to uh fun to listen too him
uh-huh
yeah that'd been weird
seems like a that seems like a long time ago
i'm i'm kind of i don't know i'm into a lot of different kinds of music too i like that kind that kind of jazz and
um
a lot of different kinds of rock music not really pop type music you know like radio
a lot of radio play like the stuff i listen to but it's not you know strictly alternative either
right
it's kind of
i like um
let's see there's some local bands from Atlanta like have you ever heard of uh Fuller for Now they're
they're real new
yeah
they've they've they've gotten in Rolling Stone a couple times
but uh they just put an album out
um
the Red Hot Chili Peppers
uh
Fishbone they've got they've got some horns i i like i like bands with horns
yeah
that rock with horns it sounds really neat
yeah i did too i i i one of the things given given my classical background uh one of the things that really turns me on is uh when the musicians are are creative with their instrumentation
uh-huh
yeah
um as well as you know the typical creative lyrics or or or melodies i also like that's one of the reasons for example that i like Rush is because it's not always
right
you know in two or in four even meter you know it they they they mix it up they they do interesting things with rhythms and they do interesting things with
right
um-hum
yeah their drummer's unbelievable
yeah and also um Getty Lee on the base
yeah uh-huh
um it's not just a straight base line that just repeats over and over and over again like on the pop tunes it right it it it it it changes up
yeah
definitely
do you play any instruments
um yeah i play i play uh uh oboe and English horn in fact um i've actually started playing again
oh really
uh i played when i was uh up through college in my first year of college and uh uh then college got the best of me and then i got married and had kids and and i really haven't had very much time to play but uh i have i found a friend who
uh-huh
uh-huh
i met somebody in town who had kids became friendly with and discovered that we both played oboe in college so we've been trying to uh get together once a month or once every couple of weeks and
well that's good
and and play a little bit mostly uh it's mostly remedial work for us because we we we're both out of shape
uh-huh
yeah i bet
i i'd never played really anything throughout school
i never i don't know i never got in it i thought it would take too much time and all that then i
i um
i started getting into uh drums i got this bongo that someone had left at our house and i sort of play on that and i got i got a drum set like three months ago
oh cool
and i've we've got extra room in our house and i've been driving all my roommates crazy playing on that but i really need to
get like i know this guy that i think i'm going to try to get to uh give me lessons and stuff because there's lots of stuff that i don't i mean i could i'm improving but slowly and i think i could you know
yeah well also if you if you take lessons you might be able to uh
learn a lot
nip bad habits before they start
yeah it's true
which i probably already have because i've been playing for three months but um it's never too late i guess it's not too late to change yet
but uh
it's been that's been a lot of fun and it makes me listen more a lot more too to when i'm listening to bands and music and stuff
uh i mean i i play a lot more attention
to what they're doing and
i i appreciate you know a a lot of what the musicians are doing
