Jazz

I Have been playing music for about 15 years now and have met a lot of great people threw music.  My mentor has for the last few years has been Screaming Jimmy.  Just a great musician.  I have been threw my past sort of limited on my knowledge about Music, and have come to really admire and respect musicians who can play theory intense Jazz.  So I have been asked to play bass in a Jazz band and am currently busting my ass bringing up my Jazz reading skills.  It is not an easy thing.  Jimmy is one of those guys that you can just put a piece of music in front of him and he will play it like he has been playing it for the last 20 years.  I'd love to be able to do that some day.  For now though its painful to listen.   One thing I've realized as I've made it to my twenties is that you can do just about anything you want to in life, it just takes time, and dedication.  I Believe in that.  What's cool is the more you accomplish the easier it becomes to get things done.  Theirs always gonna be good and bad days, but how we deal with the bad day is gonna determine how frequent they are.  So I'm gonna go learn some more Jazz.
