My life used to revolve around covering live music. The whole idea of it was so romantic to me. I had a few cool experiences in my little niche. Some of the writing was honest and true, some of it was littered with far too many adjectives and reeked of the hyperbolic post-glow of acid and ecstasy. I miss it though. And I should get back to it in some capacity because why not? Life is too short.
I wasn’t planning on seeing music night, but .bops said the gave her shop tickets for .guitar … I immediately said we have to go. I have been watching the Sicilian virtuoso ascend through the stars on the internet for years. It was truly a gift to see him live in an intimate venue. His trio exemplified world class mastery, blending originals with legendary jazz-fusion covers of Weather Report, Chick Corea, and Jeff Beck. Among the sound waves of greatness, it was his solo on Jeff Beck’s Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers, one of my all-time favorite songs, that brought me back to the place I spent years of my life searching for.
