Good idea. Riding in the car and listening is close to that experience but you still have to give some attention to the road. Are you going to do it? You probably do this every day by default already.
yesterday I put on two albums- and shut everything else down- no computer, no distractions- and really enjoyed the two albums I listened to- both Simon and Garfunkel albums- “Bookends” and ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water.”
Two good choices with those harmonies. I took the advice earlier this afternoon and listened to one through the tv soundbar so I could relax on the couch. I listed to “All Things Must Pass.” It is a masterpiece (as I know you know.)
I heard about that show a few years ago and listened to some of the programs- pretty interesting stuff. I haven’t listened in a while though- thanks for the reminder!
You’re welcome. I listened to part of an episode tonight and it was good.

All Things Must Pass– a great choice!
