Well I find myself in a dark place. Not happy at all with my playing on the last jam. Then Jeff posts new music and I hear hope. I hear a raw ragged song that was obviously enhanced to bring it to life. The song though humble in appearance brought me back to why we play. Its not about perfection, its more about a rag tag group of fellows making a sound that expresses where they are at the time. Sometimes my imagination runs away and I see band night as a grand spectacle. That is not what is is and never was. It is about us and the music and doing the best we can to create what we must. That my friends is the essence of what we do. Once again thank you my Belvedere Brothers for teaching me about life and music and how we all need each other.
