((( THE DIFFICULTY OF SIMPLICITY )))

"To be simple is really very difficult"

-Itzhak Perlman

MY COMMENT:

Perlman just so happens to be one of the greatest violinists of the modern age!

I suddenly remembered him saying this about playing simple slow pieces

and how one can hide behind a flurry of fast notes

As a guitarist my overall goal has been to master the fast notes

However, the closer I get to mastering the fast notes the more I realize

that the beauty of my slow melodic notes are the proverbial "cake"

The fast notes are like the fancy icing frills on a wedding cake

You know all those fancy icing frills wedding cake makers are famous for, right?

In the final analysis, who the hell cares about that if the cake tastes bad?
If you take a bite of the cake and want to spit it out
will you care how beautiful the cake looks?

My new Monoprice Route 66 Les Paul 

is proving to be the most generously melodic guitar I have ever owned

This guitar 'sings' rather than making sounds 

It likes to 'sing' and that is very strange indeed!

I've been used to guitars that make nice sounds, if you are determined enough

I am not used to a guitar that literally wants to sing and loves to sing!!!

It's quite a moving experience for me!

I'm starting to look at certain Karaoke songs in my collection

in a whole new light!

I just watched part of a documentary on YouTube called:

God Of Wonders The Documentary (2009) Full Length

I suddenly found myself considering that Charles Darwin

went to the amazingly miraculous Galapagos Islands 

and through what he observed there 

established his THEORY of evolution

So, what is the core of the THEORY of evolution?

THERE IS NOTHING MIRACULOUS

 ABOUT NATURE WHATSOEVER!!!!

That's the core of it

Think about it

That's the core of
the THEORY of evolution,
alright!!
