I miss music

really and truly i do. though i brought my mp3 player i can pretty much only listen to it before bed and most nights i'm so tired i just fall alseep right away. on the bus/matatu or in our van its not a good idea to put the earphone in because its flaunting of western wealth and an invitation to get mugged. its also considered to be incredibly rude, and i try my best no matter where i am not to be an asshole tourist. lthough the radio is a part of almost every minute of life here the choices are limited to government radio, jesus radio, traditional not quite polka music radio,and shitty western music radio. By western music i mean the following-booty music (though fun, there's only so any times one can stand to "back that ass up"), pop songs converted to reggae jams, and "soul" . soul is a kenyan genre encompassing anything from church music to celine dion to john denver to r kelly. i was really hoping for an orchestra baobob jamming with treya nd dave tatuthews type experience while here but that doesnt seem like its going to be the case.so it goes.
