Old and Young

Apparently, I am really sixty years old. My varied interests include eating at diners, reading anything and everything (especially on my kindle), cooking, museums, long cardigans, travel, NPR, jazz music and waiting to retire.

My mom calls me "boring."

As in, "Why did you put my Pandora on all this Old People Music. I listen to Top 40."

I call it "classy."

What else is classy? A mix of old and young? Fancy and a little bit rock and roll?

The Section Quartet and The Vitamin String Quartet.

Both groups specialize in turning popular rock songs into all string versions of fantastic-ness. They've covered The Postal Service, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Oasis, to name a few. If I was hip enough to know how to embed a movie, I would do it. I want the soundtrack of my life to be Black Hole Sun as played by Section Quartet. It sounds dramatic and awesome. Like the soundtrack to a dark, Gothic novel. I think I just ceased to be cool with that reference. Sorry Mom. Guess I'm not cool enough quite yet.
