True story. First day as a freshman in college, taking a music appreciation class. Music professor comes in the room, goes to his turntable, puts a record on and before he puts the tone arm down he says:"This class is to bring you new sounds to enjoy. Some of you may think you have a diverse taste in music. This is a test; if someone can tell me who did this song originally will get an 'A' for this course. "He puts the tone arm down, a few fiddles start to play and I am instantly transported to my childhood, back to my Grandparents living room, going through their 78s and listening to their music."Cool, clear water..."I knew that he was expecting someone to answer Marty Robbins. But that would be incorrect."Sons of the Pioneers!" I shout from the back of the room. The professor gets a stunned look on his face and tells me I am correct. He was visibly shaken... over the rest of the hour he regrets his wager and instead of a guaranteed 'A' he decides to buy me lunch instead. What BS!Still, looking back over 20 years later, it was a pretty proud moment.
