Catch the Drift
“But professor” said I striving to understand why
However, after he delivered the message he was gone
So I read and reread trying to decipher and demystify
But I am still lost in scales as the fire seems to drag on…
…My young fragile brain couldn’t really comprehend
But an inspiration was born for something to become
It was a relentless drive and coordination of hands
For those of us in the know succumb to the air drum
I remember falling in love with this rhythm and sound
I recall closing my eyes and picturing myself behind a set
It was a dream and passion that would never calm down
One that the professor would never let me forget
If you catch the mystery, catch the drift…

I haven't heard that song in a while, but it has such a unique presence. You know it's touching into something universal and epic. Music inspires pure emotion, speaking directly to the heart. I'm reminded of the drum meditations with my Buddhist teacher, how everyone would drink in the reverberation in the moments of stillness, a kind of unspoken understanding between us. I love when reading something takes me on multiple journeys. Overall there is a very personal message, with a mature smoothness to it's delivery that is musical in and of itself. Proportional and resonant Walter. 💖🙏

Thank you Daniel for that kind and profound comment. I like how music can really put is in touch with our inner selves and change our moods. It connects us to a different realm, like a bridge into our subconscious. As I grew older and understood the sheer musical genius of these three men I began to see how music also connects us.
Thank you for the RL as well.

It's inspiring to read about a passion that "never calms down". It's this way for me and writing. There is no other hobby that even compares for me, in need and intensity. Fabulous piece!

Thank you Eerie. I used to drive co-workers crazy with my finger tapping simply because I could play every note I had memorized.
