I just recently, yesterday actually, put on Ornette's-This is our Music. I am really surprised how much I enjoyed it. Especially considering how I felt about it over 7 years ago when I first picked it up. Id listen to it only very occasionally to see if anything changed. Until yesterday I was ambivalent. My system is better now, maybe I'm a better listener now I don't know. But, I'm gonna put it on again right now and see if side two speaks to me like side 1 did.
As as a band the Grateful Dead were not something I took a shine to, initially, at all. What is the big F'n deal was my exact attitude. As it turns out they and the rest of the dead family offshoots of the band have been over the course of it a very cool part of my life musically and I have had the honor to have experienced some of the best most joyful experiences of my life at shows. All the while I might add never taking anything stronger than a cup of coffee, a few beers and/or a bit of weed.
