Puih !
It was though to get out of bed this morning. I was to a nightclub, here in Stockholm, yesterday. Good food, fun people but mostly loads of beer. All in all I regard such an evening as a total vaste of time, as I never was an party-animal. One thing made it a worthwhile evening though; there was a band playing at the club.
One could have regarded them as yet another cover-band, as they stuck to covers. But the small setup; an electro-acoustic guitar, electric-bass and drums only helped to reveal that this was real musical guys.
They had a very thight rhytm and a surprising feel, the guitarist had a more than competent voice and singing-technique. It was simply great, in all itīs unambituosness. I did get a serious itch in my fingers. Something I havenīt had too much of lately. The sum of the content is that; one needs inspiration to manage to carry on. Itīs just up to one self to find it. I feel quite confident that I will pick up my black Fender Stratocaster tonight, and give it some serious runs over the fretboard. Treaten right, that lady can sing.
Now letīs only hope, I find inspiration enough to record something any other day. Itīs been a little too much of other stuff disturbing me lately, for me to let my sensitive artist soul find peace enough to search for music inside.
If I had made some songs lately, I guess they would have sounded like the machine-floor sounds from some Kaukasian steel works plant during the fifties. At the most hectic workhour. Wouldnīt have been nice to listen to. One tank, another tank, one tank...
One very nice inspiration though, is that I received an e-mail from an German visitor; assuring me that my site is not only more than competent. But even good compared to other sites. It melts ones heart to read such stuff. I only wish that the people surrounding me had more understanding for my interests. Of course, I surrendered to play only for personal amusement a long time ago. Would be incredibly fun to have someone to show off ones advancements for though, and be shown. Internet is a surprisingly fun surrogate anyway, so I guess I found my model to work on.
See Ya//Per
