Being retired and living alone gives me more time than most. I wake, do the few daily chores, then sit and listen for hours and hours. I dislike the television so it gets a very limited amount of viewing time. As I type, the song "Riverman" sung by Kurt Elling from Lee Ritenour’s "Rhythm Sessions" just produced goose bumps. There’s not enough time for all I want to hear. I want perpetual goosebumps.
How much of your free time is dedicated to listening to your stereo?
About 70 percent of my recreational time is used listening to my stereo. I will also be using my phone some of the time. I don't look at TV much at all. An occasional movie and two TV series. I'm a hardcore audiophile. Nothing else stimulates my dopamine reward system like music does. When I was 8 or 9 and discovered music, it was all enveloping in my life. I'm unbalanced but right now as I'm listening to PF "The Wall" I'm taken away to a rush of feelings and emotions. Like Jimi Hendrix said "Music is a safe kind of high".
