Reflections

Some musicians don't simply play their instruments. They have relationships with them.

He called his guitar Loretta.

Watching him play, I began to understand why.

Some nights he talked about her like a mistress who was unhappy with him. Other nights, they made sweet love together.

And you could hear the difference.

There was passion in it. Frustration. Affection. Maybe even a little heartbreak.

Beautiful, tragic, and powerful all at the same time.
