Ok, I finished the 30 day challenge and I learned quite a bit. For starters I really like music. I know this seems obvious, who doesn't like music? but I "really" like music and something inside was reignited. I want to listen to more music. I want to explore new and old music and I notice that I am listening with a different ear. I am enjoying music much more. Another benefit of all this listening has been the amount of practicing I am compelled to do. Some of you know I am a bit obsessive when it comes to shedding, after all this listening I am even more interested in getting into more music-I have made a list of at least 2 dozen things I want to start working on! its so nice to be reminded about what needs work. The third thing I noticed is I'm thinking more like a composer these days. I hope it lasts, I write about 3 tunes a year, and am very very slow about it. I definitely have to step up this side of my development. I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome of this experiment. Now I need to find a new challenge, I'm thinking about writing music everyday for thirty days, I just need a way to post what I have done......I'm working on it! until then enjoy this Chaka Kahn post with Michael Brecker. I love how everyone is waiting expectantly for Brecker to unleash!! 1981 funky goodness!
