Memories of Japan

I first visited Japan as an exchange student in 1990, when I was a high school freshman. I remember several things about the trip, but the one I remember most this morning are the tapes I had with me on that trip - Paul McCartney’s Tripping the Live Fantastic and Tesla’s Five Man Acoustical Jam. It occrus to me that Eli will never have the experience of listening to the same songs hundreds of times, in the same order, because of the buffet of music he now has available. I probably would have been super envious of that choice at the time, but on the other hand, there is no way I would remember what music I listened to 25 years later. So maybe progress isn’t always improvement?
