How Many Listeners Here Listen Mostly With Eyes Closed?


Even at live concerts I am listening with eyes closed about 80% of the time.

7th grade junior 3 trenton NJ Charles Higgins music professor 6' 8'' beautiful man with the most powerful voice. made us listen to the classic head down eyes shut, great advice.

@ezwind Easy rollers,eh? Often a drug induced state makes sounds so omnipotent and omnipresent. Wow man. Those days are gone but for a few puffs now and then. But yes when high music is acutely more so but I’m not advocating the high, I was just remembering what Guru Bob taught. 
 
Kidding adide, I hope you read “Here Beside the Rising Tide: Jerry Garcia, the Grateful Dead, and an American Awakening” The book by Jim Newton. It’s so much about the times we grew up in. ”3 Shades of Blue” by Jim Kaplin if you love Jazz is stellar too. Just finished reading that while listening to who was being written about except for when I closed my eyes enveloped in the music.

The problem these days is that once the eyes close they might not open again until the next morning!

Haven't read those books but I will check them out. 

One eye open the other closed.  Best of all possible worlds.

Seriously , though I generally listen with my eyes closed to concerts and recordings.
