Why is it so important?

     A better question is what is so important? The answer of course varies with the personalities involved.

     For me "it" changes from day to day. Sure, there are constants that are at the top of the list, but there are always interesting things on the periphery.

     Most of my life is consumed by work. I think most people's lives are consumed by work. What precious little time we have to ourselves is filled with stuff that is important.

     For me the important stuff is church, family, music, a good belly laugh, and anything that makes me think. I am not overly interested in politics as I have come to understand politics as picking a side in an argument. Life's too short to argue with people. I have principles that I should like to believe transcend politics, so there is no reason for me to argue with anyone about them. I don't mind sharing them, but I have no heart to argue.

     I love to play music. I play Guitar, drums, keyboard, and bass, but I am more of a guitarist than anything. Please feel free to weigh in on anything I post here. I enjoy hearing other people's point of view, and I also enjoy a respectful discussion about points of view.

     I have no interest in popular culture. I killed my Facebook account quite some time ago and am very happy about it. I don't watch a lot of television. I do like to watch movies, and I enjoy watching football.

     That being said, I do see a lot of videos on YouTube. I really like seeing people cover someone else's song. It's fun to get a  fresh take on a song. Sometimes you can learn a lot about a song by playing it that you would never know from passively listening. Sometimes you get another perspective from hearing someone else do the song.


     Like this one for instance: Great studio cover, and it flat out rocks.
