Both concerts are sold out already. It'll be a fun concert we just got through with soundcheck and rehersal. IMHO we sounded pretty good for guys who don't practice. Well maybe I'm just speaking for myself.

“Kotani admits that if he didn't teach on a regular basis, he would only occasionally pick up the guitar.”
When reading Ozzy’s article I was disappointed by the above quote. I’m not sure I believe it.
But, I’d give my first born to have Ozz’s right hand thumb. A double jointed thumb would make striking bass strings a lot easier. |

Bing,
Don't forget that when Ozzie was beginning (for the first couple of years) he practiced 3+ hours a day, some days much more. Ozzie's just reflecting that he has a busy life with other interests and slack key is part of his life, but not the consuming passion it once was. Ozzie also does not keep on the "concert/recording treadmill," which is one of the things that keeps professionals practicing.
Personally, I'm glad Ozzie remainsa true to who he is, a human being who likes slack key and plays (and teaches) it very well. Hope you don't get offended, but some pewople put others on a pedestal and get disappointed when their true humanity sneaks out. Some performers even encourage that attitutde. Ozzie never has - and hat's part of why I admire him. |
