I'm not certain why or what I had in mind. I simply thought it might help if I understood more about that which I've devoted so much energy toward during the last thirtytwo years of my life. Some of the instruments I play with, like washboard, saw or even slide guitar seem to me to be beyond the reach of any kind of technical translations of this sort as I primarily improvise on them as I do with my singing. I guess being mostly unaware of the benefits that such a pursuit would offer, I have no clearly set goals in mind, except to be able to translate what I find that others have written down.
