strum

I went to the live music show last night, and it was good.  They both had some really nice songs, although sometimes I have trouble making out distinct words in a noisy environment (my problem, not theirs).

I'd already had my fill of "people time" that day (we had an all staff meeting at work to prepare for the upcoming Walk fundraiser).  I found myself spacing out sometimes and fixating on their hands strumming the guitars, wondering how that works.  I don't know if I have the dexterity and manual strength to do that.  I should try to learn guitar sometime, just to see if I could do it.

I'm poor this month (bicycle repair supplies, garden supplies, federal and state income tax), so I didn't drop much money into the jar going around.  I'll need to wait another month or two before splurging on music online.  Both of them deserve the financial encouragement to continue.  Hopefully someone out there with more money is feeling experimental and can buy their cds today to help them out.

I still don't understand what makes some people willing (and even desiring) to play music for other people.  I consider it a deeply personal experience to make sounds that convey emotion.  Emotional exhibitionism?  Is there such a thing?  Or, then again, maybe it's just the same self-indulgent urge that drives some people to blog in public.  *whistle nonchalantly*

daily life, music
