High End Validation

Nice story (to me anyway)…

Had a pizza delivered today before the Lakers game. Latino guy in his late twenties. He’s been working at the pizza store for several years.

The stereo was playing. A solo acoustic piano piece on Paradise Radio.com.

“Nice music”, he smiled.

“Thanks”, I said also smiling.

“Is that a real piano…or the radio...?”, he asked.

“It’s the stereo”, I told him. Validation, I thought to myself.

“I like Beethoven”, he grinned.

The sun was setting on a beautiful Southern California evening.

I don't like the Lakers for the title this year. Not even confident they can beat San Antonio. Lacking a certain authority, maybe? J

Metralla: If you read the thread correctly, you will notice that I did leave a posting saying that I did enjoy Mihalis' contribution and that he seemed very experienced. I never went over the line anymore than what the original posting suggested to me. It is all so subjective, and I always mention this as it is true.

Touche!

This exchange somehow reminds me of a line from one of my favorite films.

Grant, I get where you're coming from, and I think most here probably do, regardless of semantics. Our hobby is basically solo..rather isolating and separatist otherwise. More often than not it can be the subject of ridicule, probably because most people listen to and enjoy music, but not many take it to the extremes that many here do. So it is nice when someone from the "outside" actually gets it. I guess it can feel like a connection, or that you've contributed something to someone's experience, or opened them up to another possibility.
