then I don't have that ability. i just know what i like the sound. wouldn't
have a clue if wws 'good' or not. My John does have it. he knows and says
Joni is evry talented and a remarkable writer musician but he cannot stand
her. But then he is a trained Opera singer(something I really don't like)
and knows aboiut music. I will comment on a piece of music that Like and he
might say 'the piano playing is awful or has no feeling' yet it sound great
to me! He mistakenly assumed carly was clasiscly trianed because of the way
she writes and plays and sings and phrases.(he likes her!) She wasn't.
So I can't tell if something is good or not and am rather glad I can't
because I can listen without prejudice. Not so with dogs. because i know
dogs and breed/show them I can never look at dog as just a dog with a cute
face. No i see the structure, the movement, etc. I look at them with a
different eye. My non show puppies go to homes where they are loved and
cared for and seen as beauitful yet I know just what is wrong with them!
