Music Is Nothing When The Audience Is Deaf

in #music7 years ago

It was 3pm yesterday, I had just come in with my guitar 30 minutes earlier for the final phase of sound check when this lady walked up to me and asked, "are you the bass guitarist for the concert?"
Yes I replied, trying to run along but she held my hand in anchor and asked again, "I heard you're a perfectionist, and you don't stop rehearsing the orchestra until every tone and semitone is gotten with time signature, really?"

At this juncture, I smiled. I had put my all in to this concert, traveling down here even a week before hand. It was a gospel concert featuring top artists in the city and beyond. I had paid my dues in rehearsals, we all had, but then having our final talk backstage, I said "All we've done still has a chance of not making sense..." As inquisitive eyes turned on me, wondering if I felt we still hadn't rehearsed enough despite more than enough we had done, I smiled one last time and continued, "music is nothing when the audience is deaf."

This should be a quote... Nice one

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.

Christain music always give me joy. I love when i am in the presence of God with all musical instruments being used.

Gospel music gives joy, yes. Music generally gives joy.

great post... That caption is dope for days

The beauty of music is when there is an audience else it would seem like a monologue or one is just crazy.

Cheers

Yes. Some times though, music is self fulfilling. You play to please your own self, it's one of the best feelings, you should give it a try some time.

Music is food for the ears and without the ears it can't be enjoyed. Nice quote.

Yes. This goes figuratively as well, thank you.

Uwc bro... Keep steeming

This words will be immortalized in your name : Music is nothing when the audience is deaf.

I'd be most honoured 😊
