Lucky blissed out on Tchaikovsky's Hymn of the Cherubim

Recap: He has gone into hypnotic states and eventual howling before with deep toned things - moaning chorus in a Chinese movie, a Gregorian chant, and obviously howling wolves.

But this was unexpected. This was a Tchaikovsky piece I'd never heard so clicked in. Sustained phrases. It took awhile at the start until he reacted. Then he got up and assumed the pointer stance that he held for a bit, then some head tilting, finally into the howling. He stopped at a pause in the piece, then jolted into position when the voices pierced in again. It's several minutes long so he reached his limit halfway through and heard the rest curled up.

Through the entire time she maybe looked at me 30-40 seconds. Looked away for a little bit but was intently staring at the phone the rest of the time.

His other, more low-brow tastes are trucks - mail carrier daily, garbage trucks on Thursdays. He's totally not vain about lookism.
