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?

  1. 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?

    Taking 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.

  2. 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.

    And 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.
