OK, this is going to be the craziest explanation you’ll probably hear ....
Like watching an infant, sitting in the sun and
playing, being amused by humming an apparently
aimless melody.
On first impression, it seems endearingly simple and
meaningless .. until one realizes that it’s actually
perfect in a cosmic sense. No further embellishment
is required, the music has “arrived”.
Hope that makes sense? --Big Nick
Completely, but only mention that to a Cajun when he's high or loaded of some spacey (spicy?) substance, and also not holding a gun; you might get shot albeit accidentally ....
PS that maybe lightning-stuck and out of space feel i had back in the 70-ies when as old time country fiddler i first heard the Balfa brothers and later a French Lady playing fiddle and singing joining our old band with Peer. And besides listening other traditional players .... - Nout
