2020....what a year! Not to sound hyperbolic, but I know I certainly used music not just as a luxury but as a means of survival. Without concerts and jam sessions, I experienced music strictly as a solitary endeavor. Whether I played records at home, or listened to my perfectly curated playlists on my headphones on yet another hike, I know I sought music to feed all of my individual needs:
- escapism
- healing
- relief
- spirituality
