B B King
i just got to know this name on the TV... how slow and incompetent i am...self proclaim lover of music that represents freedom, improvisation and simple love for creativity, i have failed miserably...
i swear i don't know nuts about music at all and always thought that the simple act of enjoying, loving and respecting music itself is enough... i am wrong.
and i have missed out on so much of the essence in the music itself by being ignorant of the very heart of the art itself.
a televised workshop by B B King on the arts central, although i missed most of it to traveling time from school, is enough of an eye opener to me. i never knew that i loved Blues more than Jazz itself; although i don't really know what is it that i liked in the first place.
you just can't stop snapping to the music once he start playing on he's guitar. no mater if he is making it out on the spot or if he had planned for it at first.
he said he never sing when he play the guitar. he don't because he want to hear the guitar 'sing'. this is truly something not all of us would have thought of. i perception of music has been changed in that few seconds that he expressed these words. ohh and did i mention the enjoyment that flow from him every time he played no matter how brief.
i might have mastered whatever instrument that i have learnt in the many years before today if i had heard his words earlier. i wonder if it applies to our voices in singing itself.
and who can forget that young man who played his harmonica so well even though he was really excited to be playing with the legend himself to a song that has the letter E in it. he is really remarkable. for his shaggy dressing and out of the bed look he is really good. but what i admire most is his guts to ask for it. i might just go jelly.
B B King being black has that 'thang' that only the black or those that are black within themselves has. something i would like to have but im just not black enough inside to possess that. gimme time and it may just come naturally to me in 50 years.
i would like to be like him when im very old. some old woman with the "hao shuang" character. wise and black at the same time.
haha...
