forgiveness mistake what-is-forgiveness
A mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable.
rewards privilege musician
The only reward the musician receives is music: The privilege of standing in the presence of music when it leans over and takes unto its confidence. As it is for the audience. In this moment everything else is irrelevant and without power. For those in music, this is the moment when life becomes unreal.

Music never goes away. It is always available, but we're not always available for music.
kings mean feelings
That certain feeling happened to me in a big way quite often with the first King Crimson. Amazing things would happen-I mean, telepathy, qualities of energy, things that I had never experienced before with music.

If you are playing repertoire material, you're stuck. There's not huge amounts you can do.
music-is
Music can be transformative, utterly transformative. The act of music is utterly transformative.
