The Musical Ascent of Herman Being

i read the book the Musical Ascent of Herman Being in an intro to Classical Music class i took in college. the basics of the book are, to listen to the symphony or opera you are going to go to many times before you attend and then you will understand it better. when you know the piccolo will hit that high note you should be ready, if not you will miss it. that is what i am doing right now. for the past few days i have been pumping non stop U2. i created a U2 tour playlist gathering songs from the set lists that are posted on their website. it has been pure bliss. and now we will drive to San Jose and i will fulfill a lifelong dream of seeing U2 in concert. i am pretty stoked. i am even more stoked being a sunday night. the HP center in san jose for a night will be turned into a place of worship that wont be lead by a "Christian" band or worship artist, but it will be lead by a group of musicians who get it and live their life accordingly. by musicians who worship in their art. not a bad way to spend sunday night. thanks to my classical music class i will be ready for the high piccolo notes as well as all the notes that will never be recorded on an album.
