Four Things #23.. In a Zoom call recently I was reminded that in 2022 our record label 3024 has its 15yr anniversary. The fact that I had absolutely no idea it had been that long already tells you a lot about how much I value 'looking back'. We did nothing for the 5th or 10th year anniversary, perhaps too absorbed with being 'forward thinking', or maybe it just takes people a couple years to reconcile with old work. For a long time I wasn't comfortable playing my old music for example, thought it was too basic and I even got a little annoyed when people wanted to hear 'that tune' again. But instead of compulsively trying to progress, there's something to say for reflection, even if just to figure out which things work, and which ones don't and need changing. So, in recent years I learned how to be happy, yes sometimes even a little proud of my past achievements, and I think it has made me a better and more thoughtful musician. This edition of Four Things has a nice balance of (ancient) history and a bit of future for you.. Hope you enjoy!
