Lately I've been geeking out to Paul McCartney's bass lines so I set this to my new lock screen. #paulmccartney #rickenbacker

White Limbs

  A stroll through the old trees of residence

t’was all I wanted.

When all of a sudden

as I look to the east and west and back again

I see the red oaks painted white!

I couldn’t think,

nor could I speak

of the things that might have happened

to the poor trees which I called close to home.

The lumber yard growing small,

jobs were lost and so were limbs

for the trees won’t be so easily claimed.

The immense beauty and stature,

sought out to beautify the Earth,

make the air pure.

Now there are none, in this place I call home.

WHEN LEARNING ABOUT MUSIC THEORY

[kissing-a-stranger]

Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it, it won’t come out of your horn. They teach you there’s a boundary line to music. But, man, there’s no boundary line to art.

Charlie Parker (via kissing-a-stranger)

Bird would play the melody he wanted. The other musicians had to remember what he played. He was real spontaneous, went on his instinct. He didn’t conform to Western ways of musical group interplay by organizing everything. Bird was a great improviser ad that’s where he thought great music came from and what great musicians were about. His concept was “fuck what’s written down.” Play what you know and play that well and everything will come together — just the opposite of the Western concept of notated music. — Miles Davis
