What Happens in Secret


What Happens in Secret
  
We are attending a jazz week here in Washington state.  Obviously, we’re hearing some incredible talent.  Last night, we heard two of my heroes – John Clayton on stand-up bass and Jeff Hamilton on drums.  Note this – they did not reach this level of their stellar skill without spending a lot of secret time in practice rooms and with their instrument. 

That secret time, when no one else is around, and we work our fingers to the bone to perfect passages, scales, inversions and on and on.  That is the secret sauce toward perfection.

Anybody who is anybody has had to do this.  Sports stars, business gurus, authors/writers, actors.  We work our craft in secret so that we can share it on a public stage someday.

Big question … do we dare to put in the alone time for those important moments that will come later? 

What’s our dedication level?
