All my life it has been there,
Music has been there for me
And in my long life
I have listened to so much,
So much music.
It could be classical
Or jazz,
It could be opera
Or country,
It could be ballet
Or folk,
It could be rock, pop or progressive.
So many different types,
Different types of music
That is there for me.
Then I think about this music,
All this music.
I think I know so much about it
But music has the ability to surprise me,
Surprise me on a daily basis,
And that is when I realise
The more I get to know about music,
The more ignorant I realise that I am.

Good write Gold.
But you are not ignorant of that 4' 33" silent piece.
A composer said he would make a 40 years silent piece of me singing, so ya won't hear me!
Thank goodness for that Orchi - peace at last. LOL
Andy
So there was some point in that 4.33 piece after all.
I'd never think of you as ignorant. Rather i'd say "open minded to sounds as yet unencountered" or "one who finds pleasure in new places".
There.... that'll make you smile.
So kind d a and certainly true about being open minded to all music.
Yes I am smiling.😁😁😁

"Put another nickel in
In the nickelodeon
All I want is loving you
And music, music, music"
Should be your theme song, Andy.
Since I joined MPS the range of music I've been introduced to expands nearly every day.
And whose fault is that.....?
Thank you for the theme song Dave:

May that glory of music keep expanding Dave - it has never stopped expanding in my life.
Andy
Absolute truth!
Music is so fluid and always changing but I love it more by the day!
Thank you Bragee, so very true.
Andy
Good one. Music like poetry is bottomless.
It certainly seems to be Trenz.
Andy
such is life my friend, let us old souls at least take some comfort
in the mere fact, that like that humble-Great Socrates:
we accumulated enough knowledge - to realise, we know very little at all
a rare feat of humility, in today's egocentric society..
thanks for all the great music you choose to share with us Andy
