How do you start a good blog? Probably by avoiding that question. I carry the title "Blogger" but what I do isn't exactly that. More like "Self-promoter as a third party" for a company you could care less about. Sales kill the soul. I was taught not to be greedy, and so that's how I attempt to live. The only way I live is to do so vicariously through my instrument.
I give it life and when the timing is right, the melodies soar passed the imagination; the stream of pitches come out before I have time to think of what I'm doing. It's not what some are used to listening to.
I'm now listening to "Song 2". What a great song by a group of individuals. The guitars, violin, drums, bass and trombone give it a certain characteristic that exposes the souls of those who composed it.
The plane where tones become words and phrases become sentences is where we'll be able to communicate best. The mumbling becomes crystal clear and the tone is as warm as the feeling we all crave at one point or another. Sometimes I wish I could express myself through my speech as well as I can through my trombone. Bold and sometimes brash are the expressions I can never seem to express, until it is too late. On my wind instrument though, I can't avoid speaking a universal language. Music is my escape and, unfortunately, is never a long enough getaway.
