“It is not a dreamlike state, but the somehow insulated state, that a great musician achieves in a great performance. He's aware of where he is and what he's doing, but his mind is on the playing of his instrument with an internal sense of rightness - it is not merely mechanical, it is not only spiritual; it is something of both, on a different plane and a more remote one.” MindDifferentStatesSpiritualSportsAchieveMusicianPerformancesInstrumentsPlanesInternalsMotivational SportsGreat MusicGreat MusicianGreat Performance Author:Arnold Palmer
“In 1992 I was doing one of my first ever tours and I was in Heathrow airport and I saw these middle-aged musicians who had clearly been on tour for decades, and they all looked haggard and unhappy and unhealthy. I vowed to myself that I would never be that person. Flash forward 20 years and I found myself in Heathrow looking haggard and unhappy and unhealthy. I decided I would rather spend my time staying home working on music and making dinner with friends, instead of spending six months in a hotel in a state of depressing suspended adolescence.” YearsFirstsPersonsStatesHomeFoundSawsMiddleMonthsSixMusicianDecidedDinnerSpendingDecadesUnhappyMy TimeHotelStayingFlashDepressingAdolescenceSix MonthsAirportsUnhealthySuspendedMiddle AgedHaggardDinner With Friends Author:Moby
