Track:Its Only Music
Yesterday we took a tour through the National Museum of Women in the Arts and in the exhibit "The Book As Art: Twenty Years of Artists' Books" we viewed this gem -*How to talk about art*by Miriam Shenitzer"In this do-it-yourself guide, the narrator, a rat, points out that you can't get by on the same old cliches any more when talking about art. Taking the reader through "a few easy steps", the rat shows how to use a very limited number of words in different combinations to create new lingo about art to suit any occasion."and I got to thinking how unable I am to really describe the music I listen to in any detail; getting tongue-tied and verbally challenged in the process, stumbling over words like awesome, great, sweet, and the rest as I search for descriptive phrases. I always envy those of you that have the gift (and education) to write a worthwhile review, and I also salute and honor your verbosity, (that wasn't really the word I was looking for either but you get the idea).
