Listening


Finished "The Music Lesson" by Victor Wooten. I've had it for a little over a year. He writes of his spiritual journey with Music. There are places where life becomes magic and back. And some strong insights into being a better player, band member and person.

I met Victor at the Contra Bass festival at Kamehameha Schools in March 2010. He taught a workshop. I should have asked him whether there was a relationship between his martial arts and his playing.

Source Code Time Shift

Are there 8 consecutive minutes in life that, if changed, would alter the current trajectory?
Of course there are.
Eight minutes is a kiss or not.
Eight minutes is a beer or not.
Eight minutes is a fight or not.
Eight minutes is a flight or not.
Eight minutes is a bus ticket, a hitched ride, a meal, a song.
Eight minutes is a lifetime.
