About yesterday: my ability to listen to music has atrophied. I tried to listen intently, without stray thoughts, and for several pieces yesterday couldn't do that for more than a few seconds at a time. Some of this music was hard for me to get a grasp of -- unfamiliar, structure obscure -- but just now I listened to a track on a CD of mine, and had similar trouble. I used to be better at this. Well, no wonder, I used to spend more time at this, listening to music, as opposed to having it on while doing something else.

Yeah, one of these years I have to train myself to hear harmonic structure.
