As you have read, I am a mandolin player. I have a thing I call the ten year rule- I tell folks the transformation to anything- doctor, golfer, or mandolin player takes a decade, so just to enjoy the ride. It comes with time. I promised my bluegrass guys I'd learn in ten years. I barely got in under the wire, but after another fifteen years I am getting a handle on it. Dr. Tom Bibey drtombibey.wordpress.com Hey Spike,

That's the beauty of music. Most of the time. You’ll always know, but most people don’t know you didn’t mean it to turn out that way. That’s the beauty of music. Most of the time.

I can work with that. I look forward to that happening someday. I remember a time I played Greensleeves around Christmas in church on my classical guitar. I sat on the steps to the pulpit and worked the sound. This was ages ago...maybe 20 years even. Everything was going well until I forgot the pattern of the song. So I just improvised a bit...drew it out and played a few extra bars then wrapped it up. To this day I don't know if anybody noticed or not, but I knew. Sound versus noise. I can work with that.

There's that moment when it all comes together and you're amazed that you're making that sound...that you're lucky enough to be in the middle of something so cool. Sort of a runner's high without the sweat. Music is worth pursuing.
