make beautiful music

Is kind of bittersweet.

Last night there was a party I went to that had a PA system hooked up, and the host was encouraging anyone and everyone to bring their instruments and play some live music.

I thought it’d be a good way to get in some experience, so I brought my guitar along.

I had a good time playing.
Even though I stunk the place up, it was still pretty cool to get out there and just play.

Back to my lazy summer afternoon.

And I’ve begun to realize just how much room I have to improve.

I mean, I knew I was pretty average but.. yikes.

And don’t get me started on vocals.

But, it seems like some people enjoy what I do, so that’s a good sign.

I want to reach the level of my heros. Including, but not limited to: John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, Aaron Marsh of Copeland, Daryl Palumbo of Glassjaw and Head Automatica, Daft Punk, Paul Gilbert (this will take A LOT of practice), Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra, James Brown, and Stevie Ray Vaughaun.
