This morning I had to take my sister to work. I decided to turn on the GTech radio station. It was the jazz program. Now for those of you who have never heard the Tech station, they known to play some very...abstract things. I remember when Miles was the host of the classical hour, he played some things that you don't hear about unless you're studying it in a theory class. How did the hear about this stuff? I have no idea. Anyways, so we were listening to jazz, and it was a bit like acid jazz. Gloria didn't say anything for a few minutes, but about half way to work she decided to give her opinion. Here's how the conversation went:

"Unnee, what is this? It sounds like a bunch of people practicing at the same time before a concert."
"It's jazz, Gloria."
"Uh, no. It's not. I like jazz. If I heard this played live at a coffee shop, I'd leave."
"Hehe...does it make you angry?"
"Uh, yes. I doesn't sound right."
"Hehehehe..."

It's been fun exposing her to new music. You should've seen her when we were listening to Shostakovich quartets :) hehehe...
