[speaker001:] kinds of music are you into
[speaker002:] uh well I I like lots of different kinds of music
[speaker001:] yeah same here
[speaker002:] uh my uh my uh upbringing was in classical music but um I really enjoy um
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] all all different kinds of music for example I I really get a kick out of Rush and uh and Pink Floyd
[speaker001:] uh-huh they just played here in Atlanta not too long ago
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] uh-huh they played uh with uh Primus have you heard of them
[speaker002:] um no I don't think so
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah yeah I'm sure it was um I also like jazz
[speaker001:] uh-huh what kind like modern or
[speaker002:] and um well yeah well yeah I like Fusion but I also like uh the classics
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah he's great
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] he is he's very good
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah now I saw him along time ago before he had achieved fame at the uh Jazz Festival they had in Cleveland
[speaker001:] oh really oh really God that must've been great
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] that rock with horns it sounds really neat
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] uh-huh yeah
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] right um-hum yeah their drummer's unbelievable
[speaker002:] yeah and also um Getty Lee on the base
[speaker001:] yeah uh-huh
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] yeah definitely do you play any instruments
[speaker002:] um yeah I play I play uh uh oboe and English horn in fact um I've actually started playing again
[speaker001:] oh really
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] uh-huh uh-huh
[speaker002:] 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
[speaker001:] well that's good
[speaker002:] and and play a little bit mostly uh it's mostly remedial work for us because we we we're both out of shape
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] oh cool
[speaker001:] 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
[speaker002:] yeah well also if you if you take lessons you might be able to uh
[speaker001:] learn a lot
[speaker002:] nip bad habits before they start
[speaker001:] 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
