I was playing at an open house tonight and this very serious-looking young man walked up to me and said, "Can you play, like, flashback music?"
Now, anyone who knows me will tell you that I'm totally uncool when it comes to current music or pop culture of any kind. I figured Flashback was yet another hip band I'd never heard of.
Which I tried to tell this guy. "No," he said, leaning close. "Like, play like I'm having a flashback."
I must have looked as confused as I felt. I do hope, however, that I kept the "oh no where's the nearest exit" look off my face.
"Like, in the movies where they say I remember, I remember...," he continued.
Oh, that. Well, why didn't you SAY so? I played him a couple of top-to-bottom glissandos.
"Yeah," he said. "Yeah, like that."
Like, whew.
