When Attending - 

A record pull is a get together in which you play a recording of a well liked song and you explain what makes you like this song. It could be the melody, the lyrics, what was happening in your life the first time you heard it, the memories the song conjures up, the images you see when you hear the song, the artists or whatever attracted you to the song. The only criteria is that the song has to be meaningful or wonderful to you.  A discussion of the song then ensues.

No musical knowledge is needed to join a record pull - just an appreciation of music.  Upon joining the group you will be provided with some qualities or attributes of music that make it easier to hold a discussion but no specific knowledge of music is required.

Sometimes our record pulls are general interest and at other times there are themes to the pull.  Sample themes are favourite Christmas Song, song to play at a funeral, favourite childhood song,  Canadian settings, saddest songs, comedic songs.  

A record pull introduces you to new songs, new genres of music, introduces you to subtleties and aspects of music you may not have encountered and enables you to learn more about the people you hang out with.
