Did you know that Amazon.com lets you download a very few songs, free? I did not know this. I'm glad I do, though. Y'see...
*dreamy flashback sequence*
My mother went through a phase where she played Zydeco mucic... well, a lot. This was after Tchaicovsky, but before Telemann and Berlioz (just so you know). Somehow, being born in Lousiana and having both Texan and Belgian relatives made that my heritage. And hers, too, but her relatives are just Belgian (and Russian, or something in that area). I don't pretend to understand this logic, but I do like zydeco music (rather more than I like gumbo, that's for sure. Too much okra in gumbo, blech).
I don't listen to very many CDs. I really should, they help drown out VERY STUPID PEOPLE DOWN THE BLOCK WHO HAVE NO CONCEPT OF DECENCY AND RESPECT FOR OTHERS and make me feel less like a whiny old lady at the ripe old age of 22.
And now I'm going nuts trying to find myself an internet radio station that plays zydeco at 1:41 in the morning (EST, of course).
Because I do like zydeco music, and amazon, curse them, has helped me remember that fact.
