Thanks for your input Jadok
on that note, i also wanted to add... the other day, I did a program where I played
nothing but 'TV show theme songs', and I had a few people in #Radio chiming in and
offering their requests of favorite theme songs. Milk and I, and perhaps others,
were having a blast listening to them together.
It wasn't your ordinary listening program, but everyone seemed to be having a lot of
fun with it.
The next day, I tried to explain to someone about the tv theme song program, and they
said that probably wouldn't be for them. I said, well you just really had to of been there,
and they agreed.
i think its another example, where what one person might not enjoy, others really do, and
vice versa.
If I had just mixed these theme songs in with other songs, the whole theme
wouldn't have really translated, and it'd just been an odd mix.
i think we all had a lot of fun with that, and although classical music might not always be
considered a 'fun' type of music, we shouldn't expect that everyone will be in the same
mindset and always wanting a fun-time on demand. Some people like the slow methodical
melody of classical music. Sometimes the songs can stir up some feelings we don't always
want to feel, but it can also help bring contrast for when we are ready for an upbeat time.
At the same time, the same music can also offer insights of intrinsic beauty, that are not
easily expressed with other forms of music.
part of this is just philosophy, which is subjective as well, but perhaps it will help in
understanding, that its our freedom of expressing our different styles that should be
nurtured, and not curbed.
I've also had a couple times where, I've played classical or champagne music, and myself
and others just weren't feeling it, and I switched to another genre. Sometimes you just
have to test the waters, and see how it feels, before you decide something else might
be more comfortable.
Making those decisions to change on your own, is very important though, and nobody
should be coerced, forced, or hassled to try to make you change in a way they want you
to change.
Playing music for others, is a lot like steering a ship . . .
Its all about the motion of the ocean and the feel of the wheel.
