Years Remember Scales

More From Lara St. John

I've learnt new scales through playing different types of music, like indian raga scales, gipsy scales and harmonically-based jazz scales.
Different Jazz Scales
I practice all the scales. everyone should know lots of scales. actually, i feel there are only scales. what is a chord, if not the notes of a scale hooked together?
Guitar Practice Together
What if there were no grownups? suppose the whole idea of grownups was an illusion? what if their money was really just playground marbles, their business deals no more than baseball-card trades, their wars only games of guns in the park? what if they were all still snotty-nosed kids inside their suits and dresses? christ, that couldn't be, could it? it was too horrible to think about.
Baseball War Kids
As a kid, i really did want to hang out with the grownups, so it was hanging out with the hippest grownups in the world. this was the nicest bunch of people i've worked with in show business, with the exception of the people around 'a mighty wind.' it really was a wonderful eight years.
Kids Eight Years
The ear participates, and helps arrange marriages; the eye has already made love with what it sees. the eye knows pleasure, delights in the body's shape: the ear hears words that talk about all this. when hearing takes place, character areas change; but when you see, inner areas change. if all you know about fire is what you have heard see if the fire will agree to cook you! certain energies come only when you burn. if you long for belief, sit down in the fire! when the ear receives subtly; it turns into an eye. but if words do not reach the ear in the chest, nothing happens.
Character Eye Fire
Kids are beautiful, man. and they know much more than grownups think they know. kids are just perfect people until grownups get their hands on them.

Beauty Beautiful Niece
All of us--all who knew her--felt so wholesome after we cleaned ourselves on her. we were so beautiful when we stood astride her ugliness. her simplicity decorated us, her guilt sanctified us, her pain made us glow with health, her awkwardness made us think we had a sense of humor. her inarticulateness made us believe we were eloquent. her poverty kept us generous. even her waking dreams we used--to silence our own nightmares.
Beautiful Dream Pain
Deliberate cruelty to our defenceless and beautiful little cousins is surely one of the meanest and most detestable vices of which a human being can be guilty.
Beautiful Cousin Animal
Wittgenstein once wrote that when the eye sees something beautiful, the hand wants to draw it. i wish i could draw you.
