There's Always A Bigger Fish


'You should never think you are the biggest kid on the block as there's always someone who is bigger," someone once said. How true. Andrew, my good old Pops, always taught us the importance of humility...no matter if one has the advantage or talent...one should always be humble. However, it is usual for most to think highly of themselves.
Was enjoying the wonders of YouTube and looking for a James Taylor song 'I Don't Want To Be Lonely Tonight' (excellent guitar piece with lovely chords and melody). How wonderful...to be able to learn the chords via the net...unlike days gone by when you had to rely on exchanging tips with another guitar player...'live'.
Well, stumbled across this Korean kid named Sungha Jung...and was moved to tears. The 10 year boy is a wonder that has the rare and exceptional gift for making music with his guitar. Its just unbelievable.
Its funny how many out there think they are terror with the guitar just because they can strum a tune. This humble and angelic looking kid would put many experience guitarist to shame.
It people like Sungha Jung that gives me hope in humanity....that there are those out there who are able to touch the souls of other through the expression of their sense.
To None I Wish Ill But To All I Wish Peace And Love.
