critical listening to music

So kids, In the late 70’s I purchased a high end set of speakers, it changed my life. I became a critical listener, it is a learned skill that requires concentration at a certain level. Fast forward 50 years, I had not been practicing critical listening for a long time, it is easy to just listen. For the last 5 years I have listened to music 10+ hours a day. I had a great relapse of critical listening after listening to some pod casts about music on YouTube. I bought a pair of cordless over the ear headphones, I have had many headphones Bluetooth is the shit.

Well I watched the bob Dylan movie A complete Unknown over the weekend. Now I am a Dylan fan for a long time, listened to several of his 70’s albums all the time. I have a lot of the early Dylan on best of albums as well as the actual albums. I never sat down and listened to his first 6 albums in there entirety until yesterday. Dylan’s folk period is very compelling due to the nature of folk music in the early 60’s consisting of just Dylan, his guitar and a harmonica. Yeah I’m on a early Dylan binge and I am smiling. Peace
