TIN EAR

 
I’ve been told I have a tin ear.
Translation: "You can’t sing, so
just shut up and listen to the music."
 
I really like songs by Harry Chapin
and flash mob pieces - orchestra 

performances - like Ravel's Bolero.
 
I lasted 2 weeks on the trombone,
and I can do “Doe a Dear, a female
dear  and "I Believe" on the piano.
 
So, whom do I listen to, myself and
the music I like - or to the critics who
say, “Shut up just listen to the music.”
