I uncovered my passion for music during my first guitar lesson. From that point on, I was involved in choir, musicals, bands,and song writing. "Just Play" is something Ottmar Liebert told me to do when composing and performing. Later in life I fell in love with Flamenco Guitar
Before the First Note is Played
Before the first note is played
There is a stillness
There is a moment where I listen to the whispers of my heart more minutely
I surrender my hands, skill, experience, and being
I perceive the Inner Sound and Inner Light
I speak softly to that presence
“Play through me the notes that want to be played
Use my offering of music
Touch and fill the heart of the listener
As I play my instrument
Use me as an instrument”
Then I relax..and I “just play”
This is not a long or dramatic process
It is who I am, reminding Victor of my purpose
Why I am a musician
Music is my passion
Music connected me to my purpose
That purpose is not to give love
For me, it is to Be love
To let the sounds of love shed seeds of grace, and awaken within the heart of the listener
the remembrance of who they are…
and how deeply they are loved
You would not know that to see, and hear me play
I’m just a musician, sharing my craft, and artistry
Yet…
My first intention…
It to Be love
To Serve love
And to listen in awe as the music plays through me
Now you know my secret inner preparation when I play
I’ll see you at the gig
Love always…always love
