Music, music, music!

So today's big event (other than church and all the Sunday usual) was another classical concert. I've never been to a rock concert, but I've been to enough classical music concerts to more than make up for it. Dad is both a high school band and orchestra director and a professional french horn player, so I get the chance to go to a lot of things. This one was the Ogden High Orchestra end of year concert. You'd think that a high school orchestra would be moderately awful, but actually they were amazing! I may be a bit biased, but I think my Dad is a truly great director. I enjoyed to concert a ton, and I almost decided to buy their CD, but in the end I remembered I'm trying to save money so I can afford to splurge while at Boardie Con.

So today's ponderings are on my taste in music. I like some of almost everything. I can't say I like pop, or classical, or country, or whatever. I like music on a song-by-song basis, and sometimes I like songs just for one part. Like I love the Backstreet Boy's "Larger than Life" just because of the flying-high crazy happy laugh at the beginning. There are days when I'm in a good mood and that laugh is exactly how I feel. And I like Smashmouth's "Then the Morning Comes" just for the harmonies on the second chorus. I listen to it, and I skip back to the beginning and listen again after I get through that part sometimes. It's just cool. My CD collection isn't too big, but boy has it got variety. I'd get more, but I'm trying to be frugal. I haven't even bought any books since I decided to go to BC. Ok, so that's like less than a week, but still!

So that's my ramble and day's events for today. Whoo hoo.
