Thank God for Time!
Time not only heals, it does profoundly wondrous things: It secretly improves quality.
Unbeknownst to the recipient, changes take place in such small increments that they in fact don't seem to appear. Someone once described it as if you're on a plane (not airplane) whose incline is minimal. Only in retrospect can you see the level you've achieved.
I found movies of the band I had taken last March and really early April - what a scream - no bass on half of them - I guess it was just after we lost (and you say there aint a God!?) Jersey Mike the bass player and before we got Mike M., our current main man. Then there's Bobbi singin away. (a sad fatality, in a figurative sense)
15 songs were recorded: pretty tame compared to the seething, ripping, growling, pack of dogs we've become! LOL
When you think of the amount of blood sweat and tears patience, commitment, understanding, negotiating, arguing, compromising, as well as love and devotion to the music its taken to get from that simple band to what we are evolving into, I'm afraid that if I had known the real investment it was gonna take, I mighta been freaked out and clamped on some intravenous pizza or TV just to escape.
I guess that explains the gentle incline - too steep and you'd bail much too easily.
