shifting gears

in his book, edge recounts the story of how he, still as a young amateur working independent shows, watched a live taping of a talk show that had bret hart as the guest. edge asked bret, "how do you get better?" bret shared a good piece of advice that edge adheres to and would like to share with the next generation, one piece of advice that i'm currently taking good heed of:

"get experience."

and by making the jump from school orchestra to the local city band, that's one hell of a vault of experience right there. i'm grateful that the melvin is joining me in this endeavor.
