Thanks to Andrew Buhr up Canada way, this came to me.
Robert Fripp chatting about how to be successful. Fripp is, by his nature, a rather prescriptive chap. But what I like about this is the notion of practice.
I very much respect my friend John von in Los Angeles, because he is a notorious practicing musician. Sometimes he lets a given instrument lapse and makes up for it later. But he takes the practice very seriously.
For 2009, this is central to my resolutions. To be a better practicing writer, a better practicing musician, and a better practicing attentive human being.
