Every now and again I run into someone else that is a ‘music fruitcake’ much like I am. It’s like this sickness that some of us have. I never claimed to be any good at it but I enjoy attempting to play a little bass guitar and a little regular 6 string guitar. In fact, I have found if I go more than a week without playing, I get this sick and lonely feeling and start having dreams about playing again. I never said I was right in the head or even remotely normal……….whatever you want to label it, this is how I am.
Well today I met a young lady who is as smitten as I am with music. She is also a guitar player and seems to have this same sickness of which I speak.
One way to know if you have the bug is to get around another guitarist and briefly mention a word like Stratocaster. I have found these words lead to more detailed discussions………and before you know it an hour has passed and you have that craving deep down in your stomach to retire somewhere with a guitar in your lap. Today was such a day. Having a party at church for the kids………met a music junky….the rest of the day was simply a formality……..a brief period of waiting……the summation of all good thoughts has ended with much music…..maybe feeble at best but sweet music to my soul nonetheless.
If you don’t have a hobby to get your mind off of business, may I suggest music? It will take you to a place that is tucked away deep inside of your soul. I almost feel that everyone has a bit of it……..at times it simply needs awakening.
I pray you all have a good weekend.
