Thread Name: Making Music as a Craft
Subject: RE: Making Music as a Craft
I view it like being in school full time, all the time, with no end. There are always more things to learn, refine, redefine, investigate, and experiment. On my shelf to be read this moment are, among other things, "Four Centuries Of Scottish Psalmody" and a Chuck Berry biography, the former will likely be more interesting. To apply all my knowledge to the craft is a challenge realized when I write some banal tripe.

But making it a craft for me requires that I not only consume it but that I also propagate it. Therefore I teach and perform.

I should go practice.

Peace, Mooh.
