I wanted to send you a note about how much I enjoy hearing you play. You are so versatile, and in each setting you exhibit different talents. When the band is playing and Lu is singing with you, there is a vibrant energy that draws the crowd in and charges up the environment. It is fun to be sharing it all with a group of friends during this scenario. Then there are the times when you play acoustically solo. I personally most enjoy this atmosphere alone, or at least without a large group of friends. It is obvious when you are playing that you really enjoy being with the music, not just as a gig or your job, but as a creator. You interact delicately with the crowd ( or lack thereof) showing sensitivity to the 'personalities' present. You change your approach depending on the circumstances of the group you are entertaining. You may be playing some of the same songs, but you will change something about them each time depending on how it 'feels' that particular time. You seem to be not only performing for others, but also enjoying the playing for yourself. As I see your facial expression and how you approach progressions and variations in the music, it seems like it is also for you and your mood at that moment...not just a repeat of a song you've played hundreds of times over the years. You have a gift, John. You can transform the 'flavor' in a room just with inflections in your voice. I haven't heard you play in an environment where you are there for background only, but it seems to me that would be difficult for someone who seems to interact so well with the audience. I have heard you say that such a gig is fine with you as well. I admire your attitude, again adaptable and just appreciative of a chance to use your creative talent. Thank you for sharing of yourself with all who are fortunate to be wherever you are playing and singing. MJ
