I had an interesting conversation with a young man yesterday. He has a degree in sound engineering although as he said there is not much call for it in our area. Therefore he works at HMV music store so I talked to him about my favorite subject ...Music !
I asked him what bands do you like ? His answer in no particular order was:
Johnny Cash, Neil Young, The Rolling Stones, The Band, Captain Beefheart, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin.
Now this young fellow can't be more than 25 years old.
I found it fascinating that he quoted those older bands !...remember he's a sound engineer !!!!
By the way, HMV is the only dedicated music store remaining here ! There are two HMV stores in the area and that's it !!! Our metro area has a population of 400,000 ! We have the big box stores that sell CDs but they have a small inventory.

The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
