Sometime, players tend to nominate, when asked, players that have
influenced them. To me, usually this means musically - for example,
there is something in the way we hear a player that we aspire to
emulate in our own playing. But are there other factors as well - do
you have examples where you have been influenced by a non musician
(for example, an extraordinary craftsman) where you have taken their
lead and applied it to music?
PS - Happy Fathers day to all (on Sunday, in tis neck of the woods
anyway..)
A significant influence of mine was the great baseball pitcher-cum-
philosopher Satchel Paige, who uttered the immortal phase "Life is all
'mind over matter'...If you don't mind, it don't matter."
Helps me try to keep a sane perspective on music, showbiz, my workaday
existence, and life in general.
Some things are non-negotiable, but most things are too trivial to
fight over. Knowing the difference saves a lot of anguish and energy.
