Whatever, it keeps the mind busy and I enjoy it. Just wish I my younger brother Geoff could read it. Cancer killed him last month.

Philips last blog post..Who Ate My Sausages?

In my recent post, I took some liberties and quoted a paragraph of your marvelous post –

” Part of it is curiosity about you, getting to know others, learning new things. But I must confess that part of it is also ego. I’d like to think I was above such things as selfish as ego. But, I’m not. I want to write things that you enjoy. As I wrote in a prior post, I want to create worlds where people will lose themselves. In the end, I guess, I just want to be liked for something that is uniquely me.”

I’ve linked back to your post. And attributed it properly. You’re David, right?

The post I’m referring to is the one that’s showing up on your CommentLuv plug in.

Thank you, my good sir.

So that’s it. This explains it then – why I often feel that the banter and the discussion in the comment section is the true star of the show. The post is just the curtain raiser for the main event.

I’m more inclined now to add myself to the tens of your subscribers. You have just slain me with this post. “,)

Karl – Thanks for stopping by. I missed your post before. Yeah, I’m pretty sure it won’t be long before I say something stupid.

Orlund – thanks for the comment. As for still learning to be a dad, I’m guessing it’s a lifelong lesson.

Matthew – Thank you. I knew you were friendly. It must be the Canadian in you.

Kyddryn – Thank you for the comment. Good points. It’s nice t have a place for the words in your head. As they say, everything should have a place – or two. And no, you don’t write crap!

Dave – Yeah, I know the type. The funny thing of it is that most journos think that most PR people are little more than paid liars who serve only to coverup the truth. That’s probably why you got so much grief. They probably figured you were lying and felt it their duty to get around you to get to the truth. Don’t worry, I still like you. Even if you were a paid liar.

Rita – thanks. I sent you an email a few minutes ago. Hope that helps.

GreenJello – Yeah, while I could blog about a number of things from my newspaper days, I won’t out of professionalism. I wish I wrote a blog back in my days of working at a gas station, though. Those would have been entertaining.

Ari – Thanks for visiting. I LOVE music. I can sing okay, though I would love to be able to play guitar and piano better. Sadly, there is just not enough hours in the day to do all the things I want to do. Great points you made! I believe what you said definitely applies to my own work as well as that of others that I enjoy. Thanks again for visiting.

(I didn’t read all the comments — but I wanted to respond to the original post)

Do you like music? Do you know why we musicians perform, instead of playing in our bedroom to brick walls?

It’s because we NEED audience. How so? The music is the same, the performance is the same, is it not? After all, musicians perform to perfection, pour their souls out — in recording studios. No audience there.

Well, we do NEED audience. And a lot of us have a hard time performing as well in studios. And here’s why.

When we perform to audience, we’re not just sending out signals. We’re also receiving them. Receiving the signals sent back from the audience.

The positive energy feeds back, and creates magic.

Indeed, many musicians have a hard time creating that in sterile studios. That’s why they have to use studio gimmics to make up for the loss of magic.

A lot of performers even overlook the contributions audience makes. But not truly wise ones. Music is something we create together — performers and listeners.

There is no shame in requiring audience. We all know that life is better that way.

Maybe it started because my In Real Life friends told me that hearing about my life was better than watching a soap opera.

Too bad I wasn’t blogging when things were REALLY interesting in my life…
