Splendid.
Karl.

This may be the best thing I have ever read. ……Well, that wasn’t said by U2. ;)

“A painter starts with a blank canvas, and as a musician, your canvas is silence. You don’t want to cover it all up. So if you know what you’re doing as a musician, you play the silences. You can’t fall into that trap of trying to get everything in and playing so fast. You have to take time and pace yourself. Otherwise, technically you may make people go ‘wow’, but it doesn’t make good music.”

Mr. Keith Richards, I salute you. Even if you did fall out of a coconut tree at one point. Actually, I probably salute you all the more for that.

Splendid. (A lot.)
Karl.
