Our Responsibility


As my music system competes with fireworks in the background (4th of July, after 9 pm) I’ve been reflecting on John Darko’s recent post (linked below). Specifically this section:

"Being a hi-fi enthusiast isn’t about the gear we own, the music we listen to or in which format. It’s about how we listen: attentively and mindfully, to the music AND to others."

Perhaps the significance and import of this very special day in our national history has opened up a window within me, to explore this further.

I’m asking our community: What is it that we can do to share and expand our interest and hobby, and this special love of music, with others?

@roxy54 I believe the posts were from @geoffkait @douglas_schroeder and @teajay I may be missing one poster. I did not get a chance to read the post further in the thread that is also showing as removed.

Not sure why they were removed, but if poster driven, that’s fine. Otherwise, I’m also curious.
This crazy hobby is about not only enjoying our own but also bringing that enjoyment to others in my opinion.

Perfect. Thank You, Birdfan.

I had older friends take me under their wing when I started exploring Mountain Biking and, then as a young adult, Motorcycling.

With their mentorship, their helpful guidance, and their encouragement.... It was a far better, far safer, far more insightful, and much, much more efficient way for me to enter both endeavors/hobbies and grow within them.
None of them, including my grandkids, even have CD players. How do you share music with people like this?

Frank, I'm confident that at least one of your Grandkids will channel their audiophile Grandfather in the future and have fond memories and a connection to you regarding this and more. Keep sharing your love of the hobby with your family.
