I have all the time in the world. As good as early retired at 60. With a flat full of light and a high ceiling which creates beautifuk acoustics, Surrounded by the books and records and meories of a lifetime. An opportunity to listen to music. Really listen to it. Live in the moment !
So I'm sitting here listening to Chicago III. From the back of one of my cardboard boxes where I store everything. Must alphabetucise the box it came from ! Chicago III came out in 1971 and was the bands third double album in three years..
Quality control is not of the essence subsequently. There are many bits that are pleasant. Tasteful. Allow you to ease back and let the whole thing wash over you. Then there are solos you fear will never end (worst of all are the drum solos which feel like someone is actually drilling inside your head). Most of the time it's chraming and spacey. It will go back in the box and may not get played for a couple more years, I wonder what will have happened to this sad folorn world in the meantime.
