@K_REY_C nice. As a musician and polymath, I acutely understand what these artists are doing. I’ve explored it myself. It’s extremely challenging to pull off.

With time and planning it’s hard. On the fly, it takes a very special kind of brain to process all of it in real time.

@noplasticshower it is. In my bands I often coordinated playing covers in different styles. It’s super fun to reimagine a song that way.

But hopping mid stride on the fly is a completely different story. I appreciate the magnitude of that.

@walshman23 I really hate country music, but I did catch some Hee-Haw growing up. So I know Roy Clark from that. I also recall “The Odd Couple.” But I hadn’t ever seen this clip, so I went and watched it.

Mercy. Roy Clark can fucking play. Now I’m gonna have to track down more of his stuff like that. What he played there was def NOT country.

Thanks for the note.

@lucyruthe that’s one of the things I noticed right away. He’s just letting his fingers move.

When I’ve discussed musicianship with people, I always mention this threshold you cross.

Learning an instrument is almost insufferable at times. But then you cross it. Every seasoned musician knows about it. You can suddenly just think about the music, and your body switches to autopilot. It’s hard to explain, but it’s the moment making music becomes otherworldly.

@Rycaut

What a rad experience. Stoked for you and your wife.

I’m glad you mentioned their friendship. I literally just responded to someone, noting that I heard they were great friends.
