What counts is the
music, David! I'm with you. My criteria for music is,
"How long does it hold my attention?" I don't care if
it's recorded on limestone and looped with WIll Rogers lasso. If
it keeps me there then hallelujah! If not, it's on to the next.
It's only music and the rest is for the 'academics'. So even
though I've been doing music for a very long time, I still see myself
as a listener who happens to play & record music. For a
living. The tool thing can be a real trap - that equipment
makers LOVE... and in the world of studios it can be a corn maze that
you never get out of.
Once you hear an
audience go wild and have folks come up to you afterward and tell you
how much meaning you've brought to their lives you know what it's all
about. The rest is for pundits, professors and Consumer's
Reports.
Hear, hear!
I'm pretty satisfied with how my career is going. I enjoy
having audience members step up to look at my feet to figure out how
I'm making four guitars happen at once and all that, but I don't care
how good you are with the toys and the hot licks - it all begins with
a good song.
Here's me and Joe Craven dong a loop jam:
