The Friend with Good Taste in Music

We all know people with good taste in music. Your interests might not align exactly, but you know their taste is good as soon as you take a look at their record collection. There’s stuff there that you just want to check out. You trust their recommendations. Or perhaps if you’re driving along together in a car, listening to the radio, they’ll reach over and jack up the volume on a tune you hadn’t heard before. Usually the tune hooks you.

Well, I got an email from one such friend yesterday. This is a guy who introduced me to Bruce Cockburn. I think he also might been one of the first to mention Phish to me, particularly the song “Contact,” which he thought was funny.

Anyway, in his email, he shared a few thoughts and ideas on music. Here they are.
