Why Don't More People Love Audio?

The larger question is most likely, 'Why don't more people love music enough to make it a LARGER part of their daily lives?' For example, why don't more people become more invested in music as opposed to Television?
The other night, I was talking to a new girlfriend on the phone...we began talking about music and I suggested that we turn our computers on and go to YouTube.
We then spent, 4 hours laughing and talking, listening to music--some she'd never heard of...partly because of age, (she's 16 years younger) and partly because of my music 'habit'.
We came to the Nancy Wilson/Cannonball Adderley songs, 'Save Your Love For Me' and 'The Masquerade Is Over'...she was really, really loving Nancy. AND she loved Cannonball's sound and solos.
Frankly, I was thinking globally, that it was a bit sad that more people are unaware of such music--music that I've known for almost half a century, she'd never known, and further thought that Nancy Wilson 'has the most spectacular voice I've ever heard.'
I think, if more people were exposed to music that could move them, they'd become more invested in 'audio', 'cause and effect'.

The other part of the evening that I liked a lot, was the notion, that there's still a lot more music out there that I too haven't heard yet, that's exciting.

Good listening,
Larry

4 hours is a lot of foreplay to waste on the phone.

you can love music but employ a medium that is very inexpensive, not "audiophile" quality" and still derive immense pleasure from listening.

there was a study in stereophile years ago that found that satisfaction from listening to music had a low correlation with the quality of sound.

i believe that the above-mentioned study is one explanation for the paucity of audiophiles.

by the way, the law of the golden mean is also a concept found in philosophical writings.

hi nsgarch:

i was not alluding to the golden rule. it bears no relevance to my comments. i am well aware of the fibonacci series. i was a math major.

the Golden Rule states that he who has the gold makes the rules
