thinking fascination choral-music
I think there is a fascination with choral music in general.
people albums band
One of the great things about the Internet is that people are excited about music and wanna hear a random album from a band somewhere in Romania or something, and to listen to all sorts of stuff from around the world.
angry-at-someone people albums
I would never be angry at someone for downloading the album. Sometimes people just wanna listen to it first to see if they like it and that's totally fair.
song listening favorites-things
One of my favorite things is when I'm listening to a song and I find my own meaning in it that I can relate to and I can create my own relationship and bond with the song.
amongst blocks brought concept couple dining history marble repeat rooms within wood
I think history is going to repeat itself. We brought a little of the beach-into-the-casual dining concept and now we're doing the same thing amongst all the marble with our wood floors. We have 25,000 rooms within a couple of blocks of us, so we're right there nestled amongst the big guys.
thinking ideas forget
I think sometimes I get overly excited about adding things and having new ideas. You forget that more isn't always better.

My mother was a music teacher and my grandfather was a professor of music, and there was a lot of singing in the family. It wasn't like trained singing or anything like that, but it was singing.

kids people cases
People digest and process music differently, and I'm sure that was the case even when I was a kid.
