Oh wait did she say… “This is your first rock concert ever?” he repeated and laughed at the realization of it “How do you find it so far? Too loud?” because thats usually the complaint. “Nah, I’ve been to many concerts, lots and lots of rock ones--” since thats also the tune his dad loves to listen to “--but yeah plenty of others-- pop, metal, alternative, rock opera, and yeah jazz and classical too-- my grandpa is also a Conductor in an orchestra.” now why did he share that bit? His dad hates it when that old man is spoken about. Anyway “A lot of the times though, I watch concerts through there...” he pointed at the wings of the backstage. Businessmen and musician patrons had its perks. However “... not quite as fun as watching it here with the crowd though. Being with lots of people who love the same artist is a whole different thing altogether, adds to the concert experience.” at least to him anyway.
Oh did she notice he’s grown? Beam beam beam he’s so proud “Last I checked, almost five foot eight.” said the human beanpole. He wasnt gonna ask about her height because he didnt know if that was a sore subject with her, and with it being a hindrance earlier too. But he was curious about another thing “Is Jazz and Classical music the favorite genre you listen to?”
She turned and leaned in to him to hear what he was saying better and perhaps to be a little closer too. Yes! This was her first rock concert and it was loud. But it was AMAZING! She didn't want it to end. "
Yes first ever! It is loud but the vibe is awesome. I think I'm not going to have much of a voice tomorrow," she laughed with her grin widening. Ah so he WAS an expert concert go-er. Her eyebrows raised when he mentioned his grandfather being a conductor for an orchestra. Seriously? That was awesome! "
An orchestra conductor? Wow! Where does your grandfather do that?" she asked. Maybe she could catch a concert... depending on how much it was. Fortunately she had worked over the break so she did have a little extra spending money than usual. Her eyes followed where Ace was pointing. WOAH. He was THAT close to the performers? That was like a dream come true!! If only she could meet TDK..... one day Olivia. One day.... "
So did you get to meet some of the artists?" she asked with widened eyes. "
I've always wanted to meet TDK." That was one of her favourite bands.
Olivia listened to Ace describe what it was like to be with a crowd at the concert and how much fun it was. Her eyes watched him speak excitedly about it and a smile tugged at her lips when he spoke. When everyone loved the music and musicians equally.... Incredible. "
That must be incredible. I've been to baseball games before where people get really into it. I always enjoy the crowd vibe there. The silly games and whatnot. I prefer experiencing a baseball game than watching it at home." Otherwise it would be boring- well she found it boring! Sorry Grandpa!
He was five foot eight?!? "
Merlin, you're six inches taller than me!" she said with widened blue eyes. Last time she had noticed, he hadn't been too tall. Perhaps three to four inches.... The additional two inches was throwing her off. Now to his question.... Olivia loved classical music and jazz. Yes, she loved both but jazz was her favourite to play. She nodded. "
I love classical. I feel like there's so many emotions there and since I play piano, I can really get into it and get carried away. It's magical. And Jazz... I adore Jazz," she was getting really excited. Gosh. Whenever she was a child, she used to get SUPER excited when her piano instructor gave her a Jazz piece because then she could improv on the piano and just have a fun time. "
Jazz is fun. It's my favourite. You can improv and just play what you're feeling. I feel like you have less inhibitions and rules to follow with Jazz compared to classical." Also playing jazz just made her feel really, really cool and more confident in herself. It was funny how music could influence her easily. Now she was curious to hear his thoughts on music, she tilted her head slightly. "
How about you? Is rock your favourite genre of music or is there another one or two that you fancy?"
