Feeling…well…grateful today. The sky is blue, the birds are singing, my dog just came up to me to force me to pet her… yea. Life is pretty stinking good at this moment.
Within the warm glow of this current state of contentment, I offer the following:
- Music is not a contest between musicians. If there is a contest, it is between you and yourself. NEVER between you and another picker.
- I have no stats for this, so I will simply make one up
- less than 20% of the world’s citizens can do what we do - namely, pick up a piece of wood with strings and metal attached and make music come out of said instrument. The minute you played your first chord or picked your first melody, you entered our world from the non-musical world. And you are to be celebrated.
And this website continues to celebrate folks, young and old. I love it. As a music teacher myself, I love to see a “classroom” (virtual or in-person) where all players are celebrated and encouraged.
So… be blessed, have an incredible day, and go learn some tunes. Spring Camp in Tennessee is coming!!!
