Cafe'

    I'm still learning basic things about the culture I'm in.  Recently I attended a live music cafe' event with 2 musicians singing their mostly self written songs.  First time I've been to anything like this.  Some of the music was completely vocal with the singer alternating his vocal accompaniment with the main tune. It was like something you'd try alone in the shower but the matter of factness of it worked for the closely packed cappucino crowd.  One song was about riding a scooter and "smelling the taste of alfalfa".   I'm always intriqued by what people write songs about.  Music makes the ordinary sublime.
