I like silence. Edward Abbey wrote of "... the perfection of the silence
... ". I'm in complete agreement with him.
I also like to hike by myself (well, I take my 2 dogs when possible, which
means usually). I really enjoy the absence of the sounds of civilization,
and thrive on the sounds of birds, the wind, and moving water. It refreshes
me, I think. And as I hike, I usually mentally hum a snatch of some tune that has come to me unbidden. Usually something I really enjoy - Fletcher
Henderson's version of "Blue Lou" with Roy Eldridge and Chu Berry, for
instance. But sometimes, it's some trashy pop tune from my teenage years
- such as "Maybelline" by Chuck Berry. I hate it when that happens!
I used to think a lot about "desert island" music. No longer.
None of this means I have abandoned music. I have not. Sometimes I
just have to hear some Stan Getz, or Paul Desmond, or Johnny Hodges, or
the blues, or some killer bluegrass, or classical guitar. Or even
Chuck Berry!
Lack of skill dictates economy of style. - Joey Ramone
