Dave, She sounds like a fine woman. My wife isn't aware that music is still being made and she laments the demise of her record collection, which consisted of Tapestry, Tea for the Tillerman and The Big Chill Soundtrack, all on vinyl. I recently borrowed Transmutation from a friend and within 30 seconds of turning it on, my wife (a therapist) had one of her psych books out and was trying to diagnos me. While using my recently acquired Time Machine, she asked me to help her move something. I left the loop on and turned it up a bit to enjoy my creation. She looked at me quissically and wondered why anyone would want to listen to such a thing. Not that I don't love her and enjoy her company. Music is just not a common ground.
