labels and peter pan and all that jazz

i keep thinking of what this all means... MY little one's not well and i'm beside myself in worry... i've been pressing her to "let it go" and now i'm not there to take care of her when the dam breaks... somewhere in this meditation "neverland" appeared... that place where we never have to grow up... that place that's found at the "second start on the right and straight through til morning"...

and from that musing came the notion and the analogy to jazz... that glorious gift of improvisation and genius that's so rare and precious... there are so very many fine musicians... prodigous technique and skill, but oh so few who step beyond training and influences to make something new...

i want to set the record straight once more... MY little one and me (read WE)... beyond our search for understanding and our attmepts at rationality and analysis and "control"... we have assimilated our influences and made a whole new song... something you've never heard before... something unique that fits us...

we're a "style" unto ourselves... and we answer only to heaven in our time...

blessed be MY little one... i am your guy
