Steve,
We certainly do agree. I play from within, not from others written music.
Most days I simply play....occasionally I become one with the music. As my
skills improve the days I connect become more frequent. From the first time I
heard the Shakuhachi I was drawn to it. Once I obtained one and figured how
to get a sound I immediately had a respite from my busy days. Playing alone
at night on my deck or in the neighborhood park just takes me away from
everything that invades me during the day. Some evenings I lose all track of
time or what happened while playing. These are the good, "spiritual" nights.
These are why I play and why I now craft flutes for others.
Best,
Tony Miller
