[Dixielandjazz] How we listen to music

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

Hi criss:

It is not just mama, it is the audience as a whole that are not 
musicians, it really is that simple, when we play instrumental music 
and I see the audience singing along I know why we are getting over so 
well even in countries where they don't speak English.  They do however 
know the words to all the top songs.  :))

How quickly we musos forget the basics of music and audiences.

Cheers,

Tom  " Sing it loud"  Wiggins

    "I tend to entirely ignore lyrics, while she tends to entirely 
ignore music"

You know, I've never even thought about that.

Now that I do think of it, I realize that I never listen to the lyrics, 
I
listen to the music and for the most part ignore the lyrics.
The only time I really hear the lyrics is when some kids drive through 
a
parking lot or are at a red light next to me and the lyrics are vulgar.

Me listening to the music goes all the back to church. I can play all 
of the
old Gospel Quartet songs on the piano but really only know the lyrics 
to the
chorus.

Mama -- now she knew all the words.
