Very good. But we can only use what we have and though sound quality reproduction gets better all the time it can never replace live performances. As television can never replace theatre :)

Some, my brother included, say that the old LPs are still superior to the newer technology, the sound richer and more nearly "being there." I'm not enough of an audiophile to have an opinion, though I suspect that if there is truth to it, it is more true of classical and opera than other genre.

I recently attended a performance of Madama Butterfly and was moved to tears, as I have always been each time I hear it, but only when actually "being there."

the headphones transport me, but it is not the same experience as being in the audience. each unique, but a fraud? maybe not?

"Yet they tolerate my being here"

respectfully, they do not tolerate you, they PLAY FOR YOU. without you, what would be the point? They are not birds singing for one another!

if i want to think interesting thoughts, i read one of your poems. han shan moves me deeply, but you are of this world, he is not.

i am argumentative, i know. i am used to give and take.

I agree:)
Am loving your writes they have an ease with edge which I find highly appealing:)
