Our family's collaborating on a project. We're trying to win every Beatles album that's been remastered by figuring out what 15 Beatles tunes are on an MP3 file that lasts a whole 11 seconds. That means each song snippet is about 1/2 to 3/4 of a second long. Comparing the snippet on the MP3 file with the song on kelsey's iPod helps the process. While Baird and Kelsey are the Beatles geeks in the house, I've been able to make a contribution here and there. But the lyrics are tricky. On a couple of tracks, the songs go by so fast you can hardly catch the words. Are they singing "but I" or "where I"? Hmmmmm. Passionate discussions over lyrics, rhythm and musical key ensue. And of course each one of us thinks he or she is right.
This has been a good exercise in listening to each other with an open mind and compromising where necessary.
So much music, so little time.
