So we started cracking jokes and mocking the performance however we could (I'm not proud of this at all -- it was rude and crappy).
But we were making jokes and clapping and laughing and then, all of a sudden, it hit me -- I was having a GREAT TIME. She was right. The music moved me. I've loved blues ever since that day.
(my parents played it a lot growing up, too -- as immigrants they loved the art form so much and even saw Sonny & Terry live in Chicago!)
I'll never forget my first real experience with blues music. My private Jewish day school brought in a woman blues singer for a school-wide assembly.
Being snotty preteen boys, my friends and I didn't want to be there. I remember, the singer said, "I promise you, by the end of this music, regardless of how you feel now, you'll be having a good time."
As the meme goes, we took that personally, and immediately doubled down on our snottyness -- I remember i was deterrmined to prove her wrong.

Am I doing this right?
@prof_goldberg Unless I handle emails while on vacation, I can pretty much budget one full workday upon my return for one week of being gone.
Much to my family's chagrin, and likely to the detriment of my mental well-being, I'd rather not fully disconnect than worry about what's piling up in my absence.
