Now I don't want to go and get political here, but...
Okay, fuck that. Seems sometimes there is so much shrieking back and forth that the sound of what's important is lost in the clamor...almost. But softly, quietly, insistent in its quest to be heard above the mooing and baaing of the herd and the flock can be heard simple music. Rhythm and a beat. Melody and harmony. Maybe made on something stringed, maybe made on squeaky bedsprings, maybe whispered softly with a little nibble into a lover's ear...but sweet simple music is still here in the world, persisting in spite of all the deafening temptation and distraction, ringing forth in spite of all the cries to lay down the instruments, to cease loving in the bed, to nuzzle sweet and salty neck no more.
So hell yeah to everyone out there singing forth, however it is you bring your tune into the world to be shared... thank you thank you thank you...
Oh yeah. My contribution to the symphony of the universe (this weekend anyway) will be brought courtesy of a spankin new Regal R45 sunburst resonator guitar, currently sporting a bluesy E7 tuning- whatever the hell that means. You know, one of those dobro thingys with the big chrome pie plate on the front. It's not like I ever expect to get proficient, but I do expect to have fun and make lots of cool sounds, and maybe just maybe in the process a shred of proficiency will be attained...
