Active listening within friendships

[Banjo]

I tend to listen intently. Many years ago I discovered it to be the key to being a good conversationalist.

Mostly my conversations these days are professional in nature. So I am very careful to be polite and not waste time.

I am very careful with whom I am friends. So those who are I find worth listening too.

I save most of my silly arse stuff for atheist forums or when with other drummers.
