Being alone with your music


I’ve always enjoyed being alone. Being alone with my favorite tunes playing adds a new layer of ‘Being here NOW’.

I remember well the first time I heard ‘In my room’ by the Beach Boys. That wonderful angst of being young and not knowing my future overwhelmed me. Those emotions we’re trained to suppress burst forward, changing me forever.

From that moment forward music became a personal thing. A private wonderful world that I had control over. It was 1966, I was 13 years old.

When we’re young, very little is under our control. Now music could set us free. It was up there with the first time, 3 years later, when I drove my car alone the first time.  In preparation for the big moment, I installed my first car cassette player (by Norelco). Now I was truly free to be me.

Your stories would be much appreciated.

Alone in the dark late at night. A touch of medical cannabis. Amazing things are in the air..

You had Connie Francis under your blanket, mon ami?!!

Felicitations and a cold mate to you!! 😄

Not only did she never meet me under my blanket but i never dare to invite her either...

In the meantime i listened to this song with my earpod :

I remember it vividly because it was the first song i listened in this way in my life  through earpod with a small battery radio...

I spare my money to buy a stereo system after that...( i was distributing newspapers doing so each day)

If we think, it was an audiophile experience ....

My first one and probably the best one...

Thank for the mate ... I offer you my best wishes for the kind soul you are...

I spent many years playing music for thousands of people. Now I most often simply enjoy listening alone (sometimes my wife hangs with it), recording in my studio, or just playing guitar. I'm perfectly happy with it.
