Every so often it's fun to think about our experiences with Linzy the musician when she was growing up… versus Linzy the professional musician. The one who played in two bands at the Sunset Tavern a few days ago Thursday.
It's fun to try 'n make connections between the two. You know?
Of course you can make connections between the Linzys along any part of that journey. For example, I was talking to one of her friends with whom she's sung and duetted at the Triple Door as well as with whom she collaborated writing a song on their last album.
The conversation sprang from the fact they want Linzy to help capture some specific vibes from some of their favorite music for their next album. Which prompted me to tell the story of how, when she was at Cornish, her class was tasked with writing in the style of a particular artist or band. The band she drew was The Beatles. So to figure out the sound, she thinks Oh yeah. Paul McCartney was in that band. So she listens to some of Paul McCartney's music, crafts a sound from it, and turns it in.
Epic fail.
Why?
Because this was Paul McCartney from his latest solo album. Not from his time in The Beatles.
My point though, was that while she failed the assignment, she absolutely nailed the sound of Paul McCartney's latest work.
Linzy's friend was like, "Right?" Because yeah.
That’s definitely one of her superpowers.
Her friend, by the way, is absolutely excited to work with her on their upcoming album... and so I was gonna mention something about Linzy and a thing about collaboration when a bunch of other people showed up just then and the conversation scattered.
What I wanted to say, though, is that Linzy has always enjoyed working with others. She's always preferred, in my opinion, being part of a team.
Why?
Well, I don't know why but I will say that, once upon a time in Jr. High, Linzy went to a school that had a music team. There was a band of musicians and there were several vocalists out front, each at their own microphone. In a way, the comparison of the vocalists to the band was a useful one because, this being Jr. High with each vocalist at their own microphone, those kids were essentially soloists. At least that's the way they seemed to approach their roles.
I don't remember how long Linzy was one of those vocalists but, at some point, she asked to join the band on guitar.
Don't get me wrong, she was perfectly fine performing as a soloist. But if there was gonna be a band, she wanted to be a part of it.
To this day, that continues to be one of her strengths, definitely another one of her superpowers: working with others. Collaborating. Arriving at music and performances that transcend their individual efforts. And trust me, that's not everyone's thing.
A lot of people simply want to be out front.
That superpower will serve her well across her career, by the way. I'm talking about years. I'm talking about decades. And across all that time, static doesn't work. Not as a composer, not as a musician, not as a human being. We are not designed to be captured in amber. And when you look at successful artists, successful musicians, whose careers span decades... what you'll notice isn't strictly the evolution of their writing and performing but the people with whom they're writing and performing.
And to do that, to do it successfully over a lot of your life, requires a specific mindset. A particular attitude.
It helps, you see, to want to be in the band.
Not out in front of it.
