Personality

no reason you can’t enjoy both formats. Well pressed vinyl still bests streaming in terms of sound quality for me, but it is not a wide gap. The convenience and variety of streaming, of course, can’t be matched by physical media. So I’m happy to have access to both formats. 

It’s sad that some contributors won’t take my posts at face value but presumptively must make assumptions and psychological constructs to explain them.

@ghdprentice - interesting! I read even more than I listen to music - I find Tolstoy's novels relatively easy reads; length doesn't bother me, War and Peace could have gone on for another thousand pages and I'd have been happy - the story was great. I find Dostoyevsky to be somewhat more challenging but both authors are such worthwhile reads. 'Light In August' is one of my favorites too, from my Faulkner period. I've never done an audiobook, though; I like to be able to re-read sentences I like. Currently finishing Mark Z Danielewski's 1200+ page Western ghost story epic, 'Tom's Crossing', that came out on Halloween. 

Yes seeing and handling the physical music brings more senses into my memory recall.  Once I put the CD down and start listening though the memories are the same.  My favorite albums and songs each have a specific memory or memories attached.  

Most appreciate your sincerity,frankness, simplicity and direct questionings...

Only a few "narrow mind" used to attack others posted their snarking remarks..

I appreciate your human quality and the fact that you were a musician...

 Thanks for all interesting discussion in the name of most and of myself ...
