something new, something that'slike ours.
I think so, and for me, it'soften a connection to a specific
memory.
Speaker 2 (02:35):

evoke, you know, that hidden gemphenomenon is definitely
something to ponder, but let'sshift gears a bit.

experience, exactly.

hostel and none of us spoke thesame language.

jam session.
No way With whateverinstruments we could find.
It was amazing.

connecting through the music.

were saying.
