110% agree!
And it sounds great. I saw Bob a couple years ago in concert (probably for the last time) and while I enjoyed the concert, the sound was mostly crap. Overly loud, every instrument mixed to the same level, muddy, no ambiance. Likely a consequence of having to play large venues.

Poor Dylan’s voice was mostly drowned out on the louder songs, but at least we could tell no auto-tune was used and he wasn’t lip syncing.

Anyway, hearing the RARW songs live really made me appreciate the sound of the CD.

I’ve never given up collecting compact discs, buying paid downloads or collecting free downloads, then organizing my own digital library. The streaming apps mostly are ephemeral to me. I use them to check out stuff but not rely on, so I don’t waste time building playlists or adding a ton of albums. And the apps vary in usability.

Soulseek is a great application to find and share music files, i like it more than torrents which i swore off a decade ago. But I still like to buy most of my music, i just appreciate it more. And listening to CD’s on their own is great.

I used to have a southern accent because I grew up in North Carolina. Then I lived in Wisconsin for five years and developed a midwestern accent more or less.

It just happened naturally, just from being in a different environment.
