Time to get those fingers moving again. If you’ve been away, there is no time like the present to recapture your momentum.

Good luck with back to school and the daily grind!

Excerpts from
Music Pursuing the Horizon
By Chuck Anderson

Motivation is the moving force behind anyone’s activity. There is a complex set of forces which move anyone to do anything. It is no less complex for the musician. The aspiring musician is motivated to begin music by a number of factors. One may begin to learn about or play music because of a lack of alternatives for time or energy. Others approach music from a social point of view. Some approach it as a means for acquiring status, money, influence or power. Still others stumble into music as if by accident. That the involvement begins is the significant fact.

What is it about music that captures the imagination of one and leaves another disinterested? The difference can often be traced to a teacher, an approach, an attitude. Since we know that potential lies at different levels in different individuals, it is easy to see why some potential goes undeveloped. A lack of endurance can cause anyone to abandon the pursuit of music. This is not to imply that all who endure have a great talent to contribute. However, everyone can make a contribution based upon their own individuality.

Joke Corner

Q: Why do guitarists put drumstix on the dash of their car?

Q: How many guitarists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
