Praise and Criticism

It’s always nice when we get a some praise but we get criticism, too. Sometimes the praise can be over the top and the criticism might be brutal. It’s good to keep all of it in the right box. https://www.stage32.com/photos/3285064988850399811

Great perspective Linwood Bell!

Pat was an amazing musician and I was lucky enough to see him a few times. He had full command of his instrument and lots to say. He also had an incident where he lost all of his memory. All of it gone. He had to relearn everything. He relearned the guitar by listening to his own recordings. Here's a link to a doc about it. It's worth watching when you have time for a number of reasons.

Linwood Bell, I love that!

Stage 32 also recently published a blog about how to have a healthy relationship with criticism, which I'm going to share below for anyone here in the lounge who may have missed it-

Yes! That article is what inspired me to post that Pat Martino quote. Thanks, Ashley!
