The music will always be (and summon) the best part.
The feeling you get when you play it and the feeling you get when you listen to it. Those are the gifts of music.
The vowels and consonants strung together with that tone of voice over the top of those chords and rhythm, put it all together and the whole room changes. It’s a mystery and yet we know exactly what it is.
Any pursuit beyond that is a different pursuit all together (and certainly a worthy one)…but the gift, the spirit, the magic, the other-worldliness?…it will always be the music.
