Do you ever listen to your own recording, such as the great Eye in the Sky album, for simple enjoyment? And, can you do this without re-thinking how you could have made it different or better?
Love the crystal mic. on your icon. I definitely had one of those in the early sixties with a crappy Japanese tape recorder costing about 6 pounds.
I occasionally listen to one of my old albums - usually in the car on a long drive. You forget things over time and it's actually quite refreshing to revisit old material. I'm not often disappointed with what I hear.
