And now for something completely…music

So we sometimes channel-surf (except we’re streaming now, so it ends up being Youtube channel-surf) after watching Jeopardy, and one night, the Spousal Unit comes across this video from a guy we’d never heard of before and for some reason he chose to start watching it.

The first weird part about this is that the SO, who always prided himself on being “too cool for fools” in his youth and eschews anything that smacks of pop, actually picks a video with the title, “The most complex pop song of all time.” (emphasis mine)

The second weird part is that while our kids have taken piano and guitar lessons for years, SO and I have nearly zero professional music training…and yet we chose to watch this (what ended up being a) complicated musical analysis.

And, folks, I am not kidding you: it was the funniest, most riveting video lesson I have watched in a long time! In fact, I watched it again just now when I pulled it up to write this blog post.

This guy, Rick Beato, is absolutely hilarious and a terrific musician. Check out the video; subscribe to his channel! If you’re more musically inclined than I am, you might even want to pay for his lessons. You can thank me later. (No; I’m not getting paid to say any of this. He doesn’t even know me or that I’m writing this blog post.)
