To find the moment in Time when a movement started, you must have been prepared to have found the Time to listen in the first place; revolutions don’t just spring up overnight, they don’t appear randomly with no forward planning, they are dreams that can decades to come into fruition.

If necessity is the mother of invention, then inevitability must be the gentle kiss of love that she places upon your forehead and to which a few will wipe off in embarrassment, but which some will feel the reinforcement of their ideas and allow the comfort to inspire them on, to greater heights, to conquering the nagging fear that their belief had been gnawed away.

Whatever your instrument, whatever your musical weapon of choice, it must be played with love, and by doing so the expertise and inspiration will inevitably follow.
The focus has seemingly always been on the guitar, easy to understand why as it does give a superhuman like effect when played dangerously cool or whimsically fashionable, however, other instruments do not lazily idle their time away, hoping that the guitar will have its day and slope off to the sun in blissful retirement; instead they find that special person to whom calls out with unheard ideas and gives them what they desire, an outlet to inspire and inflame the passions of all who will follow their every note.

The instrumental album arguably finds itself in a unique position when it comes to the public’s attention and the enjoyment they feel when listening to music. Like all art it will always make you think, but unlike albums full of meaningful lyrics and the drawing of words into the realm of the well placed chord, the instrumental is left to fend for itself, it has to be big and bold just to have someone take notice, for people want the line and the hook so they can fall in love, and yet if the listener is so able, the lack of words speak volumes for the artist.

What blooms should be encouraged to keep growing, to keep performing and illuminating the passions of others. For what blooms more than that which is regarded with sincerity and belief, and which throws the whispers of the malcontent and jealous into disarray.
One does not regard the unkept, the shadow like wraith, and possibly to their own undoing, for each has its own potential and story to tell in this life, but the ones that find a way to flourish and thrive and inspire beauty, texture, colour and the wisdom of the finite, then there are those whose presence stirs your mind and the Wonderbloom they employ as you are caught by the song they sing.

We all like to believe that somewhere out there is someone who at this moment in time is unearthing a memory of you that had long been placed in a dusty corner of the attic like mind, that they have blown off the cobwebs and swiped the decaying spider of the ages past and watched it scuttle off on the floorboards in a huff, and that have seen you, relished in your now missed company and have smiled, broadly, grinning at something you once said, some look that you gave gives them reason to chuckle.

Some meeting are meant to be and yet they dissolve into thin air as, others come together with the seismic force of nature that can only be explained away as a comet slamming forth into the ocean and causing a tidal wave that is several miles high, and yet leaves the watcher with a sense of serenity that cannot be easily explained away.

Rivers tell the stories that we often cannot hear, and if we do, we don’t understand the meaning, too often cast adrift into the deeper waters where we stand no chance of hollering to the shore or being seen by the ones who care, instead we guess at the fortune we have that the river is at least taking us somewhere, guiding us as it whispers, singing, if we are fortunate to even glean a perception of its power, us a lullaby of grace.

No places a wager with more sincerity than the person who sees the value in the High Risk, Low Reward scenario. Anybody can back a sure thing and look as if they are geniuses, most people slap the winner on the back after the race has been won, but for those that back the near impossible with the knowledge that all that matters is they have succeeded, those are the ones to whom you throw admiring glances at.

Unless you have been under a rock for a decade, or perhaps the idea of seeing arguably one of the finest duos to emerge since the days of recorded music first took its pulse out into the world and the freedom hard won by the song writer to walk their own walk, then Me and Deboe will stand in your mind as the epitome of the craft, and for many they rival the talent of the heroes of the genre, Simon and Garfunkel, with exceptional reason.
