I've always had a taste for music— real music, stuff that shows some kind of talent, some kind of musicianship, not the drek that anyone with an attitude and a synth can chum out. Old blues or trad jazz preferably, but I've got a relatively open mind. Hell, I've even listened to country on occasion. Slack-key was something new—acoustic guitars, alternately strummed and intricately finger-picked. Something like bluegrass in technique, but with a sound and a feel all its own.
