Last Friday I slammed it out with probably the 3 kewlest musicians I have ever played with, Vin Sgro, Joe Medici, and Pal Armento in a KISS Tribute night in full regalia at Fontana's in NYC. Besides the adrenal of being donned up hotter than fuck in KISS attire, what I was struck by was that there are musicians out there who look each other in the eye and listen to each other on stage, this is the first time I ever felt the true band collective on stage. Granted I had two reahearsals with them and we had a 15 song set, so it was a necessity, but the life flow was stellar, and connective, I never knew how amazing this feeling could be in a band situation. I've been used to musicians living in their own world on stage, trying to force interaction and when it didn't happen I just turned my experience into a one person show with a backup band. Hubris went out the door and it was nirvana. My admonition to everyone is look at each other in the eyes....live like your life depends on what others have to ffer you and what you have to offer them back, for the beauty of the moment. In this moment all barriers come down and we see each other as the spirits which we are, not as a collection of beliefs, lifestyles, demographics. We the people can rise up and breed the love energy that will usher in the new age. We are in it now, do you feel it??
