Frankly, I think the woman owed you the apology for not accepting the validity of your opinion.

I get crap all the time because I don't particularly like classical music. Orchestral playing bores me and listening usually puts me to sleep. My symphonic "friends" are outraged that I dare to not like the genre. Why they think they can argue me into liking what I've not liked my whole (53 yrs.) life is beyond my understanding. What is clear is that they have no respect for my opinions and preferences.

What I love is a good concert band playing concert band music, not adaptations of symphonic works. For me there's a vitality to a concert band that I don't feel in the orchestra. Others can like what they like. For me, it's my feelings that count.

Sorry to get a little off subject but the thread was about opinions and such.
