At Home

At my parents' house and Daddy is playing music for us. If you know my daddy, you know that he converted the garage into a media room. He's music and audio freak, in a good way (overall). His music has so much feeling and texture to it because of how he has tweaked his stereo equipment. He has been obsessed with music since he was a teenager. He's 53, so he's been obsessed for about 35+ years.

My dad has always been very articulate and that seems to have transferred over to his love of music and stereo equipment.. He wants every little thing in the music to be clear, audible and in place. He doesn't just want music. He wants the music to play and you be able to hear where the musicians are standing, be able to visualize them in front of you just by sound, hear the plucking of the strings and all the "intricacies." He can do very, very well with just two speakers on either side of the room.

My dad never has had any lessons to play an instrument, but my dad can play the piano by ear. He doesn't do it very often, so I don't know how much he can actually play by ear. He's always done fine when he's tried.

Anyways, it's very refreshing to hear some good quality music on his awesome stereo setup. I'm bored with my music and the radio... sucks mostly.
