As I mentioned on my FB page...to me - on the positive side - 2016 will go down as the year in my renewed discovery of music. Not to do a TMI thing, but last year I had this nagging skin rash that would not go away. This led me to a wonderful dermatologist, which led to my even more wonderful, new personal doctor. I had a full blown work up and my new doctor pushed me into a lot of health changes. One of them has included a vast increase in exercising. Well, my exercise utopia has been that of walking and my walking (not strolling, but brisk walking) has included a heavy reliance upon music. Now, back in 1985 or so, I took a music appreciation course and the instructor told us how too many people, while hearing music, fail to listen to it. So in my walks, I have learned to "listen" to music like never before and it has truly opened up new sound doors to me like never before. It has also led me to watching more and more documentaries and interviews of musicians. Whether one likes Dan Rather or not, he has been conducting some of the better musician interviews of late and I've enjoyed many of them. Artists that didn't really interest me a great deal have actually been very interesting. So, to 2016, thanks to a nagging rash with such a silver lining and to the music companion that has made it all a workable journey.....
