I was going to create a Jazz CD review for today’s post but changed my mind. While trying to decide which album to choose I started thinking about the word quality. It can be used so many ways .
Good qualities in friends , products , music or films.
I once bought a pair of Klipsch speakers. I learned they were well made of quality materials and produced a superior sound. Even the way they were packed in the box suggested quality.
Anyway, what is quality to you? A friend that keeps their word, a pair of Converse All stars, Your Ipod? I think it would be interesting to have a survey! Maybe it will turn out to be quality time.
