Keeping My Ears Open

My resolution for the year ahead: to become a better listener - more focused, more alert to nuances. I mean this primarily in relation to music, but it applies to other aspects of what comes in through the ears.

Made a start by shoving on the ear-phones and blasting out Papa Haydn's Symphony 104 - the London. Since this encompasses just about everything what makes music worth listening to I thought it appropriate for the occasion.

But I'm also aware of the need to seek out pastures new in the year ahead, especially getting a bit more in touch with what might be seen as current. Not that Haydn isn't, of course.
