My son ("The Actor") is, through a variety of means (youtube tutorials, books picked up in thrifts, and one-on-ones with working musicians) learning to play the blues harp as well as acoustic guitar.
He's played on the streets to the delight of passers-by, he's participated in open mic type jam sessions at one of the few spaces featuring live music, he has held guest appearances with some featured acts.
The actor has been having a grand time learning, jamming, building his repertoire. Though he isn't striving to become a working musician he does anticipate having music in the mix will further enhance his résumé.
Today is the anniversary of the actor's birth. He continues his slice through time with his usual grace and aplomb; staying in tune and razor sharp to the bone.
Happy 34th birthday to Bluesman slash Actor.
#MicroBlogMonday Check out Mel and others!
Happy Birthday to him! And I love a guy who can jam like that.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Me too. :-)
DeleteHappy Bday to the #1 son!
ReplyDeleteThank you. :-)
DeleteI admire his resolve to learn something new.
ReplyDeleteResolute. Describes him to a T.
DeleteMaybe I should come out for a White Sox/Yankees game. Perhaps I could catch his act. I love a bluesy harp, although I, myself, never did get past learning "Oh Susannah"
ReplyDeletePerhaps. When the weather is nice he likes to play ("woodshed") along the river walk. I've only heard him practicing around the apartment. I'm looking forward to catching a performance myself. ;-)
DeleteHappy birthday to your son, from one guitar player to another.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your son! I envy the confidence to play in public and jam, improvising has always been hard for me. He must have tons of confidence to go with his talent! :)
