That blue headgear does look like a Red Grange helmet.thanks as usual hugh. yeah, i was almost tearful from joy to 'hear' my beloved miles and a few aria's from nozze di figaro by mozart. something 'familiar' was being felt. i hope it can continue and that it will come for you again. i have been driving my car w/the radio off now for almost 3 years and almost no music in the house as well. i have a huge portrait of billie holiday that a student painted for me and 3 claxton photos of miles, sarah vaughn and chet baker all up in my living room. they have all been 'silent' for many years.
i am so sorry about your anhedonia. i think at times it is the worst characteristic of my depression. i think i told you i used to be a music history teacher, so i find it so bizarre to simply not care about something i truly loved.
lol on your red grange comment. i said the exact same thing to the doc as she was initially getting me strapped-up! no lie. i also threw-in bronco nagurski's name for good measure. she did not know these names. he-he. to continue the football theme, she was all smiles when i scored '51' on the depression intake. i had put a note at the end that this was a good sign since i was #51 in high school and college football. i asked her if she knew who dick butkis was. she said of course!
thnx again hugh.
