How do we know what is the right or wrong track?, what follows what?, is it only through our own personal contextual understanding and the things we know? is it tactit knowledge?, through growing up, constant listening, contextual realigning, anding/crossing off, listing, devouring etc... or is it an age thing, I'm 47 and have tapes made in late 70's all the way through to mid 90's and still doing it digitally, and boring the kids with my very interesting anecdotes. Ok, cheers Iain Hi
