I'm a Rare Bird

I have a confession.

I do not really care much about music.

I'm not a hater.

I just don't care.

Those quizzes that travel around the internet and facebook always ask about musical preferences and favorite bands. I don't have any.

Country? Sure. Pop? Okay. Classic rock? Uh huh. Barney the Dinosaur? You betcha'.

I'll sing along to almost anything.

In a house filled-to-the-gills with musicians and musical instruments, I am the lone soul who cannot read chord charts and does not carry guitar picks in my pocket. Just because I pick up 17 picks from under the couch and the washing machine does not qualify as having musical knowledge. I also do not have in depth knowledge of classic rock bands. Just last week in our schoolwork, I was reading over Jonah's schoolwork and quizzing him:

Okay, tell me who said, "I have not yet begun to fight".

John Paul Jones?

Yup. Tell me more about him.

Ummm. He was the bass player for Led Zeppelin.

Not exactly what I had in mind...
