Is being a musician inherently selfish?

Is being a musician inherently selfish? Do we necessarily have to be a somewhat selfish person to be a great musician?

This came up at the coffee house today. I find it a very interesting and fertile aesthetic question to ask. The answer is, as with so many aspects of playing, "it depends". Of course, it can be that this is the case. But, does it have to be?

Realized: Twistable Fans

This is my first version of a usable twistable shaft for vibraphone fans. The concept enables the use on most vibraphones (e.g. Musser M55) for a more or less DIY-self-adaptation as a retrofit kit while continuing to use the existing drive unit.
But it took a rainy November weekend to fit the fans and coupling elements together.

That's what I've been looking for for years.

A Blues Kit for Christian (and everyone else

plenty to do here.

  • Put the chords in Ireal
  • Transcribe my solo
  • Make sure you can play and comp rootless voicings through out this for 4 choruses.
  • Play my solo
  • put my solo into Bb
  • play my solo followed by your solo. Try and make it similer in nature
  • do it in Bb and other keys.

If you click right below here on Bags Groove it should ask you to open up Ireal pro and should import this.
