People like me.
Not only can others use story to influence us, but the story we tell ourselves about ourselves and our people also does.
People like me appreciate the art of an album and the vision of the artist for the work. The extension of the music to the production and recording, to the album jacket, and to the medium itself.
People like me care about the whole experience of listening to music. We care about the equipment, the setting, the furniture, and the company with whom we are listening.
People like me are discerning and appreciate subtleties and nuances. We are experts.
People like me enjoy the real thing, and we care about important things.
People like me shun the modern throw-away culture and know that a song or album is an art form to cherish over the long haul of life rather than something to occupy interest over the next two weeks of driving in a car. It’s something to hold in your hand and to show another person.
People like me enjoy nostalgic memories. Sometimes, our own, sometimes borrowed from others, and we find them to be deeply impactful on our current self.
Do you find yourself in any of those statements?
If so, you know that vinyl LPs sound better than digital music. Of course, they do.
More to come…
