Appreciation


Absence does make the heart grow fonder.  Just got back from a week's vacation in the mountains.  It was gloriously relaxing, just letting all the nonsense peel away and leaving it behind.  After the quiet, car radio, and bad restaurant sound, I sit tonight in appreciation.  What a joy to be home with my system and my music.  It seems like an extension to the vacation...the cherry on top.  Rhiannon Giddens, Ella Fitzgerald, Tom Verlaine, Elephant Revival, and currently Lee Morgan.  I'm happy!

@millercarbon  Agreed!  That is nice as well, definitely enjoyed the sounds if quiet and nature in my trip.

@elliottbnewcombjr  I just have the one, I saw them live a few years ago.  They definitely impressed me.  I need to expand my exposure. The album I have is Petals.  Very well recorded.  As it turns out some of the musicians have gone on to record on their own.  Seems like a rabbit hole once I dive deeper.  One day...
I often have the same experience after being away from home for a while.  It is incredibly nice to hear your own system well tuned for your ears!
Just got back from chillin with the family in lake Travis. What a glorious place. Awesome people. Makes me want to move. 
We’re traveling this week in Montana and it’s a lovely break from the people, noise, and traffic of home. As nice as is, I’m looking forward to returning home, pouring a martini, sitting back and listening to some great jazz on my system.
