Move to the rhythm
I bought a new metronome today, and it got me thinking (about time something did, eh?); when you're not playing to the same timing and rhythm in a band, it doesn't matter what you do, you're going to sound off. Well, I think the same is possible in everyday life.
I'm sure you've had a day like this; I sure have. You wake up a few minutes late, you're a little slower getting everything together in the morning, you miss your bus, and your day from there is just shot. Or you keep missing the walk signal at the crosswalk, you hit every red light, you miss your subway (and the one you get on afterwards is the one that has to stop for mechanical problems), and no matter what, you keep nearly bumping into people at every corner and doorway.
It happens. And it feels to me like being out of time with the rest of the world. Like you're playing in a band and you missed the count-off.
Or it might just be me...maybe I'm out of tune.
Until next time,
JW
