Keep in mind that we are communicating an emotion; so it is not which song you play as much as it is which emotion they are reacting to that is important.
I thought that needed to be repeated. Never heard it put that way.
I noticed when I play, I can play beautiful music, but very syrupy. Still, some want "syrupy" music and that's the emotion I'm transmitting at the moment.
Other times when I play, at the point I'm boring myself to sleep faster than a Tylenol PM, I wake up and put pizz-azz (rhythm) into my songs. I'm lucky I was blessed with it.
So, at any given time I'm transmitting an "emotion." Beautiful music for people who want to feel calm and serene, and upbeat, for people who want to feel the emotion that makes them want to dance.
Never thought about "transmitting emotions" rather than "transmitting music." That's a really powerful thought....I need to spend some time thinking about that.
