Campfire Jam

Last night the four of us sat down for the first time in a while and played music the old fashioned way: four blokes sitting in a circle, acoustic guitars, vocals, playing brand new songs for each other for the first time.  It was, dare I say, inspirational.  It was the sort of thing that reminded us why we love music so much.  Before there was TV and internet and mp3s, people used to sit around and play music for each other.  Hearing songs last night that were fresh and raw and unfinished and full of honesty and love was a really powerful thing.  When you hear songs I think you should be hearing and feeling a little part of the person who wrote them.  Songs are like sharing a story, three minutes at a time.  Last night was like that.  I felt privileged to be sharing music in that way with three guys who are a constant inspiration to me.  I don’t want to get all choked up here but the point is it was special.  Music is special.  And we shouldn’t ever forget it.
