40 Strings

I had it today.  I don't know exactly what brought it about—maybe just exactly the right combination of longing and lack of sleep—but I played like I have never played before.  I was playing, not to strike the notes, but to let the music out.  It wanted to be heard and I wanted to hear it.  Challenging pieces became peaceful and elegant; the overplayed was now just familiar.  I wanted to hear it all.  And as each piece was over, I leaned my head on the soundboard and let the vibrations resonate through my bones.  This is why I play.  For days like today.
