@jitterboogie When I started surveying in 1988 I was working for a big regional firm and we ran seven crews out of our office. One of the crew chiefs was a guy in his late 50's who listened to classical music all day.?ÿ Even added high end speakers to his company suburban.?ÿ All the other rodmen hated to work with him; even though he had the most experience and was willing to teach everything to the guys on his crew.?ÿ ?ÿ
Probably a happy smiling genius amoungst the peanut gallery sounds like.
And here you're describing the mentors we need sooooo badly, almost 35 years later, he left a hell of an impression.
I get too involved with classical/baroque/romantic/modern/etc.
Learning musical theory is like math, it's not necessary for the enjoying of it, and if you're more deeply connected you see more of the magic, and even sometimes even can see the Intent of the composer/artist esp when you put it in the context of the times it was written and for whom.
Thanks for sharing your story. What was his name, no last names needed, just a name. People like him deserve to be memorialized with all the respect they earned. Save of course the stories of his wilder drug and alcohol filled woman carousing days of course....
