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!

Funny, I was just floating in the pool appreciating the subtle sounds of nature. Either way, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Car radio?
I couldn’t live like that.
Glad you are happy now.
Like when one stops self inflicted hammer pounding.

I always have the same experience when returning home.

I want to get me some Elephant Revival, discovered on Pandora listening to Rising Appalachia. Which album do you think is the one to start with?
@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!
