Guitarist Larry Dale (Ennis Lowery) passed on May 19th in New York City. He was one of the musicians who were a part of the NYC blues scene in the 1950's and 60's. He played some dynamite guitar on Champion Jack Dupree's Blues from the Gutter album, and his Glover 45 -"Let the Doorbell Ring" is a classic blues/r&b record. RIP, Mr. Dale - and thanks for the music you gave us.

I would say I average 3-4 hours of listening a day. I try to listen closely all the time, but the reality is that close listening only happens with about half of my listening. I imagine I'd burn out if I listened closely all the time. Reading Jeff's post, I realized that I'm lucky to be able to listen to music played through speakers almost exclusively. If I had to use headphones I would, but I wouldn't enjoy listening nearly as much.
