You've used two of my favorite stories in your post. Bravo! As my daughter often says, "Before you buy it, just imagine how it's going to look in your next garage sale."

What a great story about stories. Context is everything! There have been many studies about the perception of wine, and people say it tastes better if it has a higher price tag or is said to come from a more traditional wine region. I didn't know about the subway music experiment. Fascinating!

You've given me a great lesson! I've had great comments on my art, by well known art authorities, and NOW will take those, and use them when I share my paintings with "non-website" visitors!! There are great ideas being born every minute! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
