I feel incredibly high today, really light, as though having had a religious
experience - or perhaps great sex. It's been raining and clearing and the
spring seeping - and I've been on a search of a quiet church in the calm
country sides of Switzerland for recording guitar. It is so difficult to
find quietness - the main source of noise are damn cars. Anyway, there was
an incredible sense of peace, joy, and inner quietness as one went from one
village to another with the guitar backpack wearing a hood in the rain -
feeling like a troubadour or a hermit who has joy inside despite the outer
world and its innumerable problems. The problems are around the corner - but
at a distance today as this other thing - this feeling ('feeling' may not be
the right word) - this being - is too strong, too pure, too innocent to be
touched by a problem.
What made this thing come uninvitedly? The fact is that I've played a lot of
guitar - on my concert guitar which really vibrates and the only explanation
I have is that 3 factors contributed to this "feeling": 1) lots of hand
exercize which effects the brain in a very positive way (there's medical
research that indicates the control area for hands occupies a very large
area of the brain and those who work a lot with their hands are 'smarter' in
a way) 2) the power of the music itself which is known to be therapeutic 3)
last but not least, the vibration - as Pepe was describing the philosophy of
sound, vibration, and resonance and how the guitar, the player, and the
audience become one - one vibration. John Lennon in their early Beatles days
said in an interview he is aware of everything humming, vibrating.
