"Listen to the fish"



* My talented Radio Brother Bill Kates turned me on to a short piece
by Rick Rubin regarding the art of Deep Listening Music. 
It ends with this summary:
"We often listen to music passively, taking in the overall sound
without noticing the individual components that
make it up. By learning to separate and analyze each layer,
we can deepen our understanding and appreciation of
how music works."

Much thanks to William, Rick and You for your ears and time spent!

*I've always been drawn to the stereotypical "Asian sound" which led me on a never-ending journey discovering the music that is decidedly not in that broad genre, yet is distinctively from the countries of this huge area. These are a people of deep talent and creativity in all  fields of the arts. 
Enjoy the tour of the Archives and while visiting don't, forget to visit the snack bar
for your free RFW Wings and Drumettes!
