Persu-ation.

I am so addicted to John Mayer's Daughters right now, particularly that version from Where The Light Is. I swear the guitar riff in that intro plays itself in my head all the time.

This week, preparing for the mini set in SCI and for hall(which the organizers brought to fruition) made me feel seriously inadequate as a musician. Usually I would just find myself an excuse and say that I am not really an acoustic guitarist (for the SCI one) or a bassist (for the hall one) and so I wasn't really on my primary instrument. But no, this time I am not taking that way out.

At different points in life, one's attitude in the pursue of a craft might take on multiple facets. I guess right now, I'm where I see my role as a musician as one in which i am supposed to bring the people listening somewhere - in or beyond their souls. I don't think I have been able to do that in both those gigs.

Pass me an immaculately crafted guitar, the biggest amps in the world, or a rickety pair of clickers. I should be able to induce that sense of escape, or the reality that you seek. Your ears as my other window into your core. That is what I want to achieve as a musician.
