I typed this post on a 1962 Royal Futura… the same year that Duke Ellington recorded an album with Coleman Hawkins. I have found that listening to this recording and typing on a typewriter lifts my mood.
I will also add I listened to Duke Ellington with Count Basie… and found on the INTERNET a 1969 video of Johnny Hodges playing “Black Butterfly” and he was smiling… I had forgotten how easy it is to be amused… to become captured in the sound’s and mood of great performances of good music…
Listening to favorite music is a great way to relax. I close out the world by using closed headphones and laying back on the recliner and let the music play.
