Curious compliments

I gave a presentation at the New Orleans Music Colloquium (topic was Storyville this year). As is often the case, I also did a radio show dealing with some of the same material in a more casual manner.

A complimentary email from a listener to the radio show included the claim it was
"like getting a post-graduate education in some of the greatest music on the planet!"

While after my presentation at the Colloquium, one of the city's senior music researches told me:
"Good talk. It was very amusing".
