Just got out of a great band practice with the band I play bass with. Playing someone else's music for a change is great. It does remind me of the many ideas floating around in my head though.
Goal #1: get myself a show.
Fortunately having children has wiped away any delusions of grandeur. I am what I am. I want no fame, just a willing audience that can be transported to the same magical place I go to when I play. If I go will you follow me? Without judgement?

When you say "without judgment" - you're interested in the journey only? You're not interested in feedback on any aspect of it, more in just keeping it a wordlessly understood thing?
ReplyDeleteTaking everyone to the same magical place is a good goal, but I think sometimes the same music can transport each of us to a different magical place. It can be fun to compare notes when you get back!
But yes, it is very easy for it to cross into an unwelcome or uncomfortable area.
I guess I meant judgement in a more non musical way. If you're there for the music and have a positive criticism I'm cool with that. I may or may not take it to heart. BUT if you come full of criticisms for things like fashion or even genre I'm not into hearing it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree, we all go to our own place. But that is the magic of music...you're all experiencing your own thing collectively. Hard to wrap your mind around it sometimes.
