okay so that was track number three or pick number three we're gonna slide over into pick number four and I'm zigzagging so we're gonna go back to Van pick number four and the question that goes along with this one if you could play this track or album for someone who doesn't know you at all what would it tell them about you

It's really a very popular song as far as a jazz song will go.

A Night in Tunisia by Miles Davis is the song.

And what it would tell someone about me if they were to listen to it is that i don't know because people hear jazz and they don't understand what they're hearing they always think well that's what i want to listen to when i'm relaxing and jazz is good jazz is brain music there's all these things happening and it's if you're really listening to it it's making it's activating parts of your brain that music other music wouldn't so i don't know if people would pick up on that but If I were to tell them what this is telling them about me, I would tell them that it's part of what helped me to think about art in a different way and also to think about production.
