Maybe Cooder's not as egregious, but it creeps me out just a bit nonetheless---and no slam on his talent or archival achievements. He's a way more talented performer and musician than ASB curator/bland singer-pianist Michael Feinstein. He's unlistenable to me...  

 

As a kid, JS Bach's music was almost impenetrable to me, but I felt I would understand it one day. The important word is 'almost'.

 

I could say the same about Cecil Taylor in my teens.

 

In my teens I also heard the Grateful Dead. I understood the music ok, but it was coming at me from an oblique angle, like rock from another reality. I didn't really like it.

 

Ry's music had a lot of elements that completely turned me off. I wont list them. That would be a waste of living.

 

I  strongly felt I needed to persevere with all of these types of music. With Ry, it took a very long time. It was a bit like when you see a pretty woman with a flaw in her appearance, and you have to persevere to see anything but the flaw.

 

Bach, the Dead & Ry (and others) are so dear they ingrained in me now. I wouldn't really be me without them.
