I think this is my favorite improvisation I've done to date. I'm excited for summer to be here, I'm excited to potentially jam along with this entire album, hell I'm excited to be alive! ...however what really has me jacked about this recording, is a little something I haven't been able to do before.
What's New, Pussycat?
Typically, when I do an improv play-along, I just follow the lyrical melody (to the best of my ability of course)...but this time, and for the first time ever, I heard a secondary melody in my mindspace, and followed that instead! I mean, I did do some following of the lyrics, but man, check this one out because it sounds to me like a specific and unique flute part written just for this song...I'm stoked because it has always been my goal to play along with the lyrical melody until my skills increase enough to play my own melody that adds to the song...today is the first time it's really ever happened!
Typically when I see a new skill emerge, it is fleeting. It's a lot like learning a life lesson on psilocybin...you grasp it fully and comprehend it in four dimensions...you know it was real, but the next day, all you can hold onto is the feeling that it was here...the mind is incapable of holding onto a 4D concept in any fashion except for the emotional experience of having touched it in some way. Then, knowing it exists and through arduous labour in the third dimension, gradually you bring yourself closer and closer to re-locating that higher vibrational concept or idea.
In this case, what I'm predicting is that tomorrow I will once again be stuck, only capable of following the lyrical melody - I will start right back at the beginning of the path to freeform consciousness with my quena - but because I now have tasted freeform, I will start over on the path with a new sense of ambition, and will carry with me the emotional resonance of what that really feels like. In essence, this means I have leveled up, and started over all at the same time.
Each lap is the same track, but there is a slight difference in the ether.
Do I sound crazy? I feel like I sound a little crazy - but, just as any crazy person would, I can whole-heartedly assure you that I am not crazy.
Tagging 
because I think you'll dig this one...don't worry, I won't tag you in all of them, but I wanted you to know I'm doing this whole Sublime summer bit - and I think there will be some good ones in the mix if you decide to give 'em a look! :)
...had a half a beer last night before I came to my senses and dumped it down the drain. Life is a continuous series of choices, punctuated by epochs of sleep. I'm getting better at choosing consciously during the waking hours...soon the carburetor will be running smoothly.
