how many people are reading your political threads and you don't even know it.

I have a great interest in music and music theory. I'm no expert by a long shot but I spend a fair amount of time exploring and studying it. I play a little guitar. Nothing classical, just rock, rhythm, and blues stuff.

Fascinating to me that an instrumental can evoke thoughts of another person, thanks for sharing that.

I was introduced to instrumental music as a kid via surf music - like the Ventures. It reminds me of places but not people. Allman Bros Blue Sky reminds me of a beautiful hillside with a running stream bed where I took acid with my ex-wife - but not of my ex-wife. Santana's Samba Pa Ti reminds me of the concert hall where I first heard him(them) play it but not the people I was with. You are more advanced.
