is nothing better this morning than some JAZZY FUNK or FUNKY JAZZ, in my way of thinking. D.R. Emailed this to us...love it. Thanks D.R.. Can't wait for Steve to get home, so, I can show him.
Our morning's already been full of lotsa music...'bass music', of course...Steve just loves to play, so, played to me at 'coffee'...never know when I'm gonn a be blessed with his genius on the bass...he closes his eyes you know 'zones out'...that's what I call it...well, he's not in this world anyway...and, we're both transported to heaven right away....today he 'zoned out' on his FRETLESS, and it sounds like a cross between a 'cello/harp' thing?...it's hard to find the words.... amazing anyway. I never get tired of his...what he calls it 'practice'...it's like NO practice I've ever known, in ALL those years of music lessons I had as a kid, not even close. Music just oozes out all over him...he becomes the music. Steve says that music's alive, and he just gets outta the way and music plays itself...what?...now, what does that mean? Not sure...But, it means something very special to him AND, that's all that matters, isn't it? AND with his innocent child-like acceptance and answer...the music just happens. That's what I know. WOW.
Oh yeah...there's a wonderful open mic in Shelton this Sunday...so, go check it out. We went last month...it's always on every third Sunday of the month at THE SHELTON PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, address: 1430 Shelton Springs Road, in Shelton, WA.. We had a great time...there's great live music and FREE refreshments. Our friend Vinnie/trumpet hosts it. My kids will be here on Sunday from outta town, 'cause it's my birthday tomorrow, but, my daughter has to work tomorrow. Even though I'm ageless...it's aways fun to have a 64th birthday party anytime, isn't it? I bet, we'll get to go to Shelton next month.
Now, let me post some very cool video links below. That, my Steve or BARTLETT ON BASS will be checking out, or 'working up' this afternoon...I'm such a fortunate being to be blessed with so much music/art in my life...thanks to Steve and all the awesome, genius musicians in our area. Support Live Music and Musicians. of course, they work hard and really deserve it Jan
