The idea of the problem, the error, the weakness being
the very thing that can define your way that can inspire you I find comforting.
In an age where we are constantly being told that perfection is the only way I
like the idea of the weeds of your personality, consciousness can enrich you
and take you forward.
When someone asked Johnny Cash how they got the train
like rhythms in their songs he said, ‘That is all we can do’. That might be all
that we need, the idea that lack or a technical problem in your playing might
be the way forward; I am sure that Django would like to have had four fingers
but it defined the player and maybe defined the man.
