Ordinarily I wouldn’t post another video so soon. But this chord strikes from the center.

I saw Trevor Exter perform at the Wildflower Cafe’s fourth anniversary party. He is in the midst of a NY subway musician’s contest called NYC Soundtracks. Check him out.

Upon browsing the site I came upon another musician who I enjoy very much, Balla Tounkara, but the video disappeared after a year, so this is the best replacement video I could find of him performing in Montreal:

It is great to feel real people playing real music.

It has been a long time since I wrote in this blog. I do want to check in. I guess I have been waiting for something that I could put together into some cohesive whole. Thing is, those cohesive wholes are eluding me the more I dive into life and cross check my own theories about things, my own pre-suppositions, assumptions. The more I take a chance and really start to open up to the people and places around me the more I find I really don’t know so much about anything. I thought I was getting a handle on all of this.

My friends tell me that once you begin to really be honest with yourself, (actually that part is my own words), the more you realize that you don’t really have a clue, but that’s OK. I feel like I have to know and understand. Otherwise it will all fall apart on me. But I guess the world doesn’t depend upon me for its cohesiveness. Maybe I need to let it go and learn to dance. Learn to fly. Learn to float. Something.

Thanks for reading. Hope to see you all on the physical plane.
