My Favorite Compliment

The best one I've had in the last while was from a woman who was with me when I was listening briefly ("grooving" is probably a better word) to some recordings of a jam session I had played at. After a while, she told me, "I like watching you listen to music."

I thought that was pretty cool, especially since I can imagine that my particular version of "active listening" could be annoying. It was nice to hear.

[EDIT] Oh, and for the record, she's closer to my mom's age than mine, and wasn't hitting on me, which maybe doesn't make it count double, but it is different.

Yeah, I could sense the tension. I'm pretty sensitive to stuff like that. You know, tension and stuff.

Now where's my stick? I need to make some room in here...
