Sounds of Not Silence

OK, I am thinking about not writing now but writing at 3:00 or h:00 in the morning instead. Nah, that is silly. I am not a silly.

Blood on the Tracks and Rumours, to name the two that come to mind right now, they are embedded in my mind. What did a 65 year old buy have the same reaction to music released in late twenties? Certainly not albums, Ah heck, they had a collection of 78rpm records bound into “albums” like photograph albums. They did not get a format we recognize – those were introduced in 1948. Take a look at Wikipedia’s article “Album” which provides a nice history of albums.

Interestingly, they list “the dominate form of recorded music” from the mid-1960s through early 21st century. Most of us, like me, were alive and listening to it throughout its history. Did you realize that? Were you aware that you were listening to something that would fade away? It brings to mind the days of black and white photographs, now described as an alternative format.

What else do we have fading away? TX(get a list of them)

Not going to touch the subject of affordable housing – even in New York City and San Francisco — before they realized what they could make and decided they needed to make those bucks.

I prefer to listen to silence while I work, Where work meant employment and doing things around the house. I like the sound of Silence, still do. Today I am listening to Rumours. As I use a bluetooth connection to my hearing aides it is like having a really nice headphone set.

Think it is time to go off in search of 25¢ beers and summers of discovering being me.
