Life happens. We respond. And in the process, beautiful things sometimes emerge. Life's not a dress rehearsal. What is, is. Through my many years of being moved by the muse, i have never had a repertoire. i don't repeat playing the same songs when i sit in front of the piano. Ever. i play something unheard until that point. What i play is always something new and unbidden. When i have recorded and produced the music that has met me, it's never been a piece i spent any length of time preparing for the recording of or rehearsing. It's always also been one shot. One shot instrumental, one shot vocals, one shot life. Do i get a note 'wrong' sometimes? Sure. A note will come out that seems to break the pattern; but that imperfection marks a point of innovation. It introduces something that could be considered to be 'flawed'. But it is my moment's authentic expression, and i don't edit it or get rid of it. The music flows around it, accentuates it, celebrates it. i honestly have no clue where my life will take me or what will mark my 'legacy'. All i know is that i am here, now; moving through each moment with fully embodied presence. And life is happening as i do, making a symphony of my time here - foibles, quirks and all.
