"He who makes a mistake is still our friend;
He who lengthens or shortens a melody is still our friend;
But he who violates the rhythm unawares can never be our friend."
-Arabian Proverb

The man that hath no music in himself Nor is not move'd with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons , strategems, and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted. - William Shakespeare

You can’t make your music good. You can’t try to be good. You can try to be present and you can try to remain open so what is going to speak to you can speak through you. - Michael Hedges

PEACE
it does not mean to be in a place where there
is no noise, trouble or hard work. it means
to be in the midst of those things and still
be calm in your heart.
(unknown)

Peace to you all!

Bumper sticker that started here in Seattle...

"I'd rather be drumming"

I also like the quote...

"Practice makes you better, not perfect" -unknown

I realize this may be a bit much, I personally love this poem by a Chilean poet Tito Fernandez call Nueva Casa...

La Casa Nueva

Hoy estamos de fiesta
tenemos nueva casa
y hay que inaugurarla como Dios manda.

Hay de todo: azado, cazuela, champaña,
vino blanco, del otro, mucha gente y la casa.

La casa nueva:
nuestra casa, fruto de tantos años llenos de penas blancas.

Primero hubo discursos,
me felicitaron,
hasta nos tomaron fotos con la vieja abrazados.

Luego, y como es lógico,
ya no hay nada importante,
importan sólo el trago, la comida y el baile.

Yo los miro de lejos,
los niños están grandes;
mi hija con su novio, mi hijo y su compadre,
mi mujer con los platos
y yo con mi copa solo
en un rincón la busco escondido de todos.

Hola vieja, ¿bailamos?
que importan todos estos
no importa ni la casa,
lo que importa es lo nuestro.
quítate el delantal
quiero verte de fiesta,
ya está bueno de platos
ahora eres la reina.

Bebe tu de mi copa, como en los tiempos idos
yo bebo de la tuya, amigos, amigos.

Déjame bailar contigo la alegría linda
del último vals amor, amor.
vamos a vivir unidos
en este segundo nuestra eternidad
amor, amor, amor.

¿Sabes una cosa?
Hay algo que no entiendo
yo quería una fiesta con los hijos, los nietos
y vino tanta gente que tuve que buscarte,
como vez escondido, para poder hablarte.

Pienso: ¿qué pasaría si alguien me sorprendiera
contándote en secreto mis siniestras ideas?

Una casa, ¿cuál casa?
si esta es una barraca comparada con otras
que sí se llaman casas.

La casa nueva, desde hoy la casa de los viejos,
para bailar a solas un valsecito añejo.

Déjame bailar contigo la alegria linda
del ultimo vals amor, amor.
Déjame mirar tus ojos recordando
tiempos que no volverán
amor, amor, amor.

Mira, todos se han ido
hemos quedado solos
estoy casi borracho parece.
¿Lo entiendes? solos, solos
sin hijos, ¿lo ves?
Se van, se van felices
tu te pones más vieja
yo más viejo y más triste

En fin bailemos
sólo Dios entiende lo que pasa
después de todo nada
tenemos nueva casa.

Déjame bailar contigo la alegría linda del
último vals , amor, amor.

Déjame saber si es cierto
que nadie nos quita la felicidad
amor, amor, amor.
Ilu Ache,
Ivan
