Good and free

I'm a person who deeply believes that without purpose music or any other art form is pointless. We've moved into an era in which the self glorification at any cost becomes the illusion of accomplishment. I've been fortunate to have done this since I was a teen. Ironically it's a fact that I really played music back then to get cash to party. I was too young for a union card and my contract was on notebook paper. I sense intervention from some divinity because I ended up meeting folks who shaped my view of this craft. Miles Davis told me most of what I needed. He said "Daryl. fuck it". I guess you can't possibly go wrong with such a specific aim. LOL. So as this year winds down, I'm grateful that the documentary and shows have given me a lot. I hope to meet so many new cats in 09. I get tons of e mail from strangers yet they feel familiar in the sense that we collectively agree on fuck it. DH

humility vs. arrogance

The eternal struggle in this realm not just this profession is the balancing act that is in perpetual play. I honestly believe and subscribe to the notion that life is fluid. The only visual I can evoke is that of the proverbial circle. Cyclic experiences.

I've recently encountered the extreme imposition of being subjected to verbal tirades from ne'er do wells, under achievers and just plain nuts. Thus, the dilemma. Does one address it equally venomous or the other option, the embrace of compassion?

My resolve is to render to the music the best I can. After all it's supposed to be the total purpose of my endeavor. Yet, the man within wants to correct the errant behavior of some whom I don't even consider peers. What to do? to be continued,

fame

Such an illusive concept. Even harder to realize,.

OI IT'S WORK

I'm in the process of two projects as I speak. Rehearsals for a Chicago Gig in two weeks via Live Feed. The other being a documentary. http://www.rawindiedocumentary.com/ is the link. Filming takes a life of it's own and the logistics are nightmarish. I believe both are significant. I'll give the updates as I am given time to do so.
