Missing the forest for the trees


Something I've been reflecting about, of late. With time and experience, I've been pulling back trying to connect with and attempting to understand the larger picture.

Perhaps others have their unique stories and universal messages to share.

I request we keep the discussion positive and helpful. Thanks!

Weeding out the junk in my LP collection. Cutting back from the 4,500 I had to 3000 LPs. Positive experience so far. finished the Jazz, Listened to all the stuff I did not remember, got rid of all the junk and impossible to listen to (think later Archie Shepp tootling atonally for the whole LP...), kept the stuff. I like...  am almost finished doing the same with the Rock. Classical is a bit harder.. (Like I listened to all EIGHT performances of Scheherazade I owned.. Kept 4 dumped 4. One item down, 1000 to go.                      
So basically changing from collecting for collecting sake. To playing listening to what I like. Gettin' OLD and have no need for an endless mountain of possible stuff to listen to. (3,000 should be plenty)
