You're one of the writers, Tom, who made me understand the advantage of being a musician who can use simple terms to explain to the listener why they feel the way they do, in certain sections, whether Beethoven or the Beach Boys. I am now, at age 74, taking piano lessons, just to get a better grip on some very basic terms. So instead of saying, "this song is groovy" (lol), I might be able to say why it starts "groovy" but then you plummet into darkness. You're the master of this.
