the Obsession Chronicles

lovin' the one you're with

well the universe is laughing with me, that's for sure * every time my endless faith in the universe even flickers that funny universe proves, in the most gently humourous way, that it really does always provide * after some wallowing in that sometimes unavoidable friend depression for several days last week i had one of those Great Weekends a girl gets blessed with every once in a blue moon *

it started with a concert -- the concert was the main event really * Joe Craven -- wow! now that's some music! he plays a fiddle or an angel food cake pan or his thighs or cheeks or whatever's handy * he played with an incredible ambidextrous keyboardist (a complex base line with his left hand on one keyboard & the lovely intricate rhythm with his other hand) & drummer (using both hands & both feet as if they weren't even connected to the same body) * loved it, best concert i've seen in some time *

sometimes i feel so rich & lucky to live in this wonderful community * in the first song Joe came to the chorus of a highly personalized rendition of O Susannah & he said "everybody sing!" & guess what, everybody sang! maybe that doesn't sound extraordinary but it sounded like a regular choir in there & i doubt there was a single person who didn't sing * i've been to concerts in other places & i'm no musician but i know that a concert given to a horde of musicians is a special thing & that's what we get around here * any of you get a chance to go see Joe, do it *

& i've nothing to brag about but the fact that i was awakened in the very first hour of this Valentine's day for my own private midnight concert & i must say it was quite nice *
