Isn't more fun to listen to music when there are still unresolved questions than when we already know all the answers - that would be like watching the same episode of Jeopardy back-to-back....or like listening to Oscar Peterson.....what's the point?
Great post. Thanks.
I like Hamid a bunch. I wonder about Parker. I have lots of admiration and questions about Peter. That's the way I roll after 50 years of listening to this stuff, and paying money for some of it.
Enjoy what you enjoy.
My experience as well. The old single blade design made me bleed almost every time. In those days everyone had a styptic pencil in their shaving kit. I welcome the "expense".
Listening to my first pressing (heavy, stereo, promo) of Horace's Jody Grind. I noticed the 3rd track is "counted off" and need to check the BN cd (a needle drop) to see if it is edited out.
At some point I have respect for myself as a typist but do not compare my experiences and/or ideas with Hemingway or Faulkner. Nor do I really understand all they did. And so it goes...
The whole "I play the instrument" thing only goes so far with me.
