Just
a quick story I think you guys might be interested in: A local radio
station in Toronto has been holding a competition for the last few days in
which the prize was a pair of front-row seats to Friday’s concert here in
Toronto. To win the tickets you had to be the seventh caller and you had
to correctly identify all 10 songs. I tell you, it was tough. To
hear clips of 10 songs go by in 5 seconds or less and identify them was much
harder than you might think. All the sounds are very familiar, and while
a handful of songs were immediately obvious, correctly identifying all the
songs was a real challenge. Fortunately it became a bit of a team effort,
as my friends Jock, Chris Orange (Chris is on this list), and I listened over
and over again to the clip we recorded, and we discussed for ages on multiple
telephone conference calls what the songs might be. Over the last three
days each of us was able to get through to the radio station as the seventh
caller, and with a variety of combinations of song choices, we had anywhere
from 7 to 9 of the songs correctly identified. Some other callers were
quite good, and a handful of callers were truly clueless. Ultimately,
Jock, Chris, were certain we knew which 9 songs we had correctly identified and
which song had to be jettisoned from the list. And just yesterday evening
Jock figured out what the song was that we were having trouble
identifying. Armed with what we now thought was the correct final list of
songs, I ended up being the lucky one that got though as the seventh caller
when the competition resumed this morning….and…..drumroll please
(thank you, Stewart)….I won a pair of front row tickets to Friday’s
concert!!!!!!!!! How cool is that!?!?
Cheers,
Bruce
