There’s not much wrong in this world that
can’t be overcome with a couple of acoustic
guitars, a couple of well matched voices,
a pretty melody, tight harmony, and good
strong lyric.
There is an unpredictability playing music that
makes it just as compelling as golf.
You never know one day to the next how well
things will come together.
On the golf course some days you hit every
fairway but can’t chip – or can’t make a putt….
in music some days the voice is strong but
the finger picking isn’t as precise as you’d
like it to be – or the voice is a little raspy
but the chords fashion together telling a
story all by themselves.
I play for those days when it all comes
together – and each song I play I play again
thinking it can always be just a little bit better.
In golf , in music, it’s not nearly so much
the final score…it’s the pursuit.
