I’m on several lists for marketing emails, all kinds of “musician tips” emails, and also on a freelancer email list. This morning I open my inbox to find a huge email from Elance. I’ve never gotten a job on there, partially because I haven’t paid to verify myself and I also haven’t really taken…

So you’ve got to be on a mission. Of personal exploration and greatness. You can’t expect immediate success. You probably don’t deserve it. But when you find your way, deep in your career, when others have already given up and gone back to graduate school, then maybe you have a chance.

Awesome. Can’t agree more with him …on this issue anyway.

TED, Victor Wooten, Music and Communication.
I’m a huge fan of Victor Wooten - not just his thoughts, but his unique perspectives and musical approach. Take a look at this TED Ed video featuring his ideas on learning and teaching music, and a fantastic rendition of “Amazing Grace.” If you’ve never seen him play live, make it a point to do so.
And let’s not forget the implications of what the first few minutes...

Mind over matter.
Lots of squatting! Spicy foods! Good luck!

This is a great spot done by RKCR/Y&R in the UK. The music struck me and has a really great Olympic quality to it with copy-catting too much on familiar tunes from history.
Then I found out that Elbow wrote the music. Awesome. It definitely has their flavor and makes me like the band even more!
