taste is simply subjective. It has too touch you individually. Nothing pissed him off worse than just reflectively dismissing an artist without giving it a good listen. Second only to telling someone their taste in music was wrong (or sucked), because SUBJECTIVE! And he liked EVERYTHING! He delighted in "expanding my musical horizons."

Gone 14 years and the man still makes me smile, every time I listen to a song that reminds me of him, and truth told, they all do, because I remember when he introduced me to this or that artist.

Having said that, late 60's through the seventies. And Chopin's Nocturnes.
