"And I’ll just leave the keys And leave the car And leave the world behind I’d rather walk tonite And we can shine tonite Like stars tonite" (from "shores of holy" by dave petty) I know, I know. How do you shine like stars when it's raining. Well... because the stars are still shining anyway. Aren't they?
So let’s play.
Words…
Music… In a world of sound. I long for a word, a note at the heart of the things we live in. Deep to the heart. Wide to the world. Something that genuinely reverberates, that resonates… I wish that what came out of my voice, my instrument, would touch you. Help you long and live and love. I wish we could meet in a place where we settle down and settle in and just appreciate.
I’ve always thought that performance was really about relationships. Me getting to know you and you getting to know me… If you know me, well then, you know that I speak and sing and engage and just lean back and perform and lean forward and play, and Oh Yes, we make things up!
So let’s play! Let’s just listen and learn and love and play. Especially love. Yeah, just like that… let’s just love.
