What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you?

@rvpiano , hope you are well my friend. I listen to music when I feel like it (that is, in my listening seat), and I generally am in the mood for something specific beforehand. I mentioned gummies prior in another post, as it relaxes me from my anxiety situation. Otherwise, I am doing something else. @wolf_garcia I mentioned a while back on another thread here that the Heresy, all series, performed much better elevated on stands.....I am glad you did it, enjoying the benefits and finding it revelatory. FYI, I am somewhat educated and experienced with Klipsch Heritage speakers, just sayin’. My best, MrD.

Give it the silent treatment😂

If you really wanna enjoy music, take the time to learn how to play an instrument and play in a live band because then you’ll REALLY appreciate music at a deeper level.  

@soix,

I played trumpet in a Jazz band for years in my early days and it didn’t do anything to help me appreciate music any better.  Growing up, there was always music playing in our home, my dad was thrilled when his console stereo got delivered, I remember him giving the 3 delivery guys a cigar and a 5 dollar bill each. This was back in 1963.  It was a Magnavox tube unit. Didn’t sound bad.  I played many of my own records on it until I bought my first system at the age of 16. All of my music appreciation came from that console stereo, with my dad playing Chubby Checker and lots of Johnny Cash.  Every Sunday morning, my dad played some FM ststion thst featured 3 hours of Armenian Music.  God how I hated it, it sounded awful but mom and dad loved it.  Mom and dad were, you guessed it, Armenian.

I AM a musician, or at least was, but I don’t play anymore.
