   You say, "I wonder if Soon-Yi's taste in music is any good?"  Are you   
   implying  that people who like traditional jazz do not have good taste   
   in music?  Because their tases are different than yours?   
      
   All music has value.  But all of us don't have to favor the same   
   kinds.
