I told this story to satori and she liked it. I asked her why she liked it because I have no perspective on such a thing and I was contemplating writing it for my blog. “I don’t know,” she said. “It’s very evocative…”

I was satisfied with that I guess because now I am going to tell you.

I’d forgotten about this, my sister brought it up. We were talking about the innate class we both have. It’s in us, all right. We both have exquisite taste though how we got it is… well it’s hard to understand.

Scott told me something similar awhile back. He told me in spite of the shortcomings (which I am primarily made up of) I have always had taste. He specifically said I could judge talent. Scott has an Aquarius Moon and always liked having a girlfriend from the other side of the tracks.

“Elsie, you didn’t know the first thing about music but if I played you recordings of two famous artists playing the same music you would know which one had the superior talent. Most people can’t do that…”

It was a hell of a compliment because Scott is a connoisseur of music. I hope I don’t get this number wrong but as an example I think he has recordings of 63 different pianists playing one piece of music. He likes to scrutinize, compare and contrast the playing but anyway, I have a knack for winding up places I have no business being - high places and I’ll tell you how far this goes back.
