tommorrow, and although this is - as I
am continuing to try to remember - a VERY minor thing in the
grand scheme of my body & overall health, it's still traumatic
mentally, because I don't know how much flesh I'll have left.
Doc says that he thinks the location & extent of it makes me a
good candidate for that Mohs' surgery I mentioned before, but
it's pretty deep - and he can't guarantee how it will heal/how
much will regenerate. Really, this is probably nothing, and
people have played better than I can play with much greater
impediments - I think I am so nervous about it because
honestly, so much of what I do is at the edge of my abilities
anyway, I think if I lose any technical abilities at all, it's
going to just throw me back into not even being able to

one week & a C&W project the
next, but it seems with greater distances between projects &
more time spent on each particular one, it's harder to get out
of a certain mode & get back into something else, like writing,
for example (in this case). Ever experience that? Used to be
I'd listen to "So" over & over for a day & I was "clear" -
not 'so' anymore (pun intended LOL).
And the last random thought for the evening...
4.) As I was listening to Aja, again, for the dozenth or so
time in my attempt to get "clear" (but NOT in the manner that
Bill Lorentzen would interpret that! lol) , it occurred to me
that the likelihood is that there will NEVER, ever, again, be
another "Aja", which made me quite sad upon realizing said
revelation. I've come to this determaination based on the
following theorems:
4a.) Becker & Fagen notwithstanding, there simply aren't any
artists out there at this time that can conglomerate the
level of talent in the kind of numbers necessary to
promulgate this kind of endeavor... there USED to be more -
sure, any A-list artist could & can hire top-level talent,
but to what purpose? To achieve something like this? Nope.
Who did so, even back then? Steely Dan, Joni Mitchell,
Peter Gabriel (in different genres, but still...)
4b.) There simply ARE no musicians of this caliber left!
Well, I might be overstating it, but back in "the day", you
could pretty much walk down any street in New York or LA &
trip over half a dozen Larry Carltons or Bernard Purdies...
where do you eve find people like that anymore? Sure,
they're out there, but where? Who can find them? Are enough
of them concentrated around where someone wants to record
so that they can be put to work on a project? I doubt it.
=20
4c.) The economics of the biz has changed... who gets the
kind of budget anymore where you can afford to have seven
different A-list guitarists (if you can even find that many)
hit the solo on "Peg" a few times each until someone nails a
take you like? In this same line of questioning, who can
expect to sell enough records anymore without even going on
tour so they don't have to worry about recouping, so
they can sit at home doing nothing but writing & perfecting
this shit for two or three years until it's at this kind of
level? Who gets the kind of budget where you can essentially
have five different bands record a basic track on a song
until you get the one you like? NOBODY! Some rich rockstar
like Chad Kroeger of Nickelback would have to decide they
wanted to do some kind of project like this & put their own
money into it & hire the best people, the best musicians,
the best recording engi
