Listener Quotes

When you're sequencing a record, you want the listener to stick with it from beginning to end, and in order to do that, you really have to map out the journey from the first song to the last.
Dave Grohl
Nirvana

Whether a listener absorbs this music or rebels against it is at least partly a matter of how the performers put it across.

The focus of my life begins at home with family, loved ones and friends. I want to use my resources to create a secure environment that fosters love, learning, laughter and mutual success. I will protect and value integrity. I will admit and quickly correct my mistakes. I will be a self-starter. I will be a caring person. I will be a good listener with an open mind. I will continue to grow and learn. I will facilitate and celebrate the success of others.

Edward Feser
-
It is almost axiomatic that the best conversationalist is really the best listener.
