A common way people classify themselves and others (officially "getting to know you" - but really, classifying) is asking what kind of music you like.
This is a question that I find impossible. A track here; a tune there. And yet this weekend I heard a new song, "Little boxes", something I hadn't heard before.
I look it up on youtube and there is this 1960's (or perhaps 70's) era video of a man with a banjo. This video is more gripping then a hundred modern pop songs. There's no cookie-cutter image, just a man, in a jumper, singing about boxes.
There is tune, meaning, feeling - the things I want in my music.
So what music do I like?
Music like this, played by Queen, written by Bach or sung by a friend. Easy really...
