What is the root of musical bliss? What a question you asked, my dear Neidig. First of all, we must limit this discussion to music that is truly Divinely inspired. Most likely from a performer like you that has his eyes closed during much of a performance. Watching them makes your eyes water in reminiscent understanding, your heart burst forth in your chest with complete openness and vulnerability, and you want to run to them, embrace them, and ask them, "How did you know?? How did you know me so well? How could you explain the things that I've been struggling to understand?!" These life definitions go for lyrics as well as the passion of the strings. A true musician puts the entire body and soul into their art. When I played piano, people would often laugh at the way I almost "writhed" on the piano bench, I "ebbed and flowed" I called it. The music was like a wave that came over me. I felt it, and merely let my fingers fall over the black and whites with a reverent touch, rarely ever opening my eyes to glance at the keys. When you close your eyes and listen to the Moonlight Sonata, especially keeping in mind Beethoven was deaf when he wrote it, you realize that there is more to musical passion than merely hearing with the ear. You feel in your heart, you make love to it in your soul... it pours forth from you in a tidal wave that you can not control. THAT is where the bliss comes from. When that eruption leaves you again pure, and your soul glows from within with Divine Light. The passion of sound. There is love in sound. And love holds the Universe together.

I go to see live music mostly to see a favorite band and experience the joy of seeing them live and up close.
Also with the hope that I'll find a new band to enjoy with any one of the opening acts. But I also go to feel the energy that is produced from the crowd especially if it is a good concert. My favorite show was A Twisted Christmas by Twisted Sister. They played on my birthday and my brother got tickets for us both. I have always like them not just for their music but also their musical energy and stage presence.

I think the greatest asset of consuming live music is the sense of heroism. It's like Batman or Wolverine is on stage, and instead of saving the girl with a cape or adamantium claws, the artist is saving anywhere from 50 to 50,000 people with a guitar. It's escape from the villain through capture by the hero; it's like nothing else. Even when the credits roll at the end, you leave with the sense of, "While my life is full of Kryptonite, Superman will be there when I need it most..."
My favorite live performance can be seen here:

Kevin,
I think it's great that you want to know what people think. I saw some great performers in the last year, but my favorite was you, Henry and Alexander Mitchell - you guys were great together! Do it again! Please!

Wow. That was the only exclamation I had after the Tim O'Brien show. Your voice was crystal and chilled to the bone! Your humbleness was felt, and the audience was yours. Nothing could have interrupted the devotion to you for those 4 songs. I'm honored to know I had the privilege to experience that occasion, for it is the doorway to something beyond what you can fathom. You deserve everything you are manifesting.

Upon listening to 'Only Me,' I am once again inspired to fathom possibilities that were never previously in my consciousness. The thought-provoking, soul-awakening messages move to me tears, and the melodies to reverence. Never before have I been so aware or so surrounded by Elysium. You take the commonplace and make it fantastic. Thank you for allowing the listener to travel with you as you investigate your dreams and the Universe. Most profound.

Kevin,
I heard you at Harvest Moon Festival today and was impressed by the sensitivity and clarity of your voice. I especially loved one song that you sang by yourself, but have forgotten the title. It was a quiet piece, I believe it was the 3rd to last song you and Henry performed. I think you said it was to on your new CD. If you would let me know I'd greatly appreciate it (and likely purchase the CD)! Thank you for bringing an appropriate close to a wonderful festival.

Your Official#1Fan directed me to your YouTube video telling me she thought you were an incredibly talented guitarist. I thought she was giving me her biased opinion. I was wrong. Congratulations on your recording contract which proves that persistence leads to recognition, but more than that, the cream always surfaces. So, that fiercely dedicated fan of yours out there really is a music officionato and I will forever have impicit trust in her opinions!

Hey Kevin,
Your "Abstract and to the Point" cd is (if you'll excuse my French) fuckin' great. By the way, this is Max Hykes sending this email. I used to play with Tresa & Laurie in SOLIEL from 94-96. Sorry for the blunt assessment of the cd but I got to tell it like it is. Your instrumentals just kill me as does your overall playing and singing. I remember seeing you for the first time back around 94-95 when you were with Deviation and you floored me then. I'm glad to see and hear that you are doing great as a musician. I think the last I saw you perform was at one of the Chambersfest events in front of the courthouse with Voxology. Obviously I don't get out much. My cousin actually lent me your cd the other evening (he might get it back). He and his wife are big Voxology fans and try to catch you at the winery in Adams county as often as possible. I believe he told me he bought the cd the last time he saw you there. Anyway, keep up the great work and I look forward to future solo offerings from you (may I suggest an all instrumental outing).

The site looks really nice.

I hope your'e well and that your music brings joy and peace to all that hear it.
Much love to you and yours.

P.S. - I was the girl at Cool Beans last night that almost lost her mind when you started singing Trouble. And that song "Easy To Be Beautiful"...is ridiculous. That guitar playing is sick. You don't have a contact number or anything like that...so maybe you'll read this. I was actually interested in guitar lessons. I have been for awhile. I just started teaching myself. I've been playing for a few months, but would really like some guided direction. If you can contact me at this email address...that would be great. Thanks!

I love the CD, and have been listening to it in my car for days! There's such a great variety of styles, tempos, moods. . .it can be relaxing and energizing at the same time. Great work! I enjoyed meeting you at Sidney's a while back, and look forward to watching more live performances when I get the chance!

and now for something original that you HAVEN'T already heard from me. First of all, the journal thing; Have you been reading my journal because you sing exactly what i want to hear! It's like you stole all of my poetry and put it to music: that's how much I loved the CD. And I may not be your biggest fan because I haven't seen you as much as I hoped I would've, but I can at least say I'm one of the youngest! And what else is missing... oh yeah. You're beautiful. It's easy to be beautiful isn't it? I think so anyway. But you're the kind of beautiful that you feel and hear, not what you see (although it's not bad-looking from the outside either.) ehem. And yes, I'm going for "Longest Guestbook Entry." What can I say that hasn't been said about you? You're... enigmatic. You're... John Denver-ish, you're super nice and a cool guy, you're a darn good guitar player, you're Kevin! Ok now it's getting ridiculous. I gotta find something to say to end this. ok.
Kevin, you've been practicing what you love to do your whole life and now that you have the power to show your soul to the world, you can do anything you ever wanted. And you will, I guarentee it. Why? Because you have long hair, that's why. Don't ever change, brotha.

What up!? I think I'm your biggest fan who never gets to see you play live. But, I'm looking forward to adding your new disc to my extensive collection of quality music. You'll fit right neatly between Jason Mraz and Ozzy. Good luck with the new CD!
p.s. I still feel bad about cancelling my guitar lessons so early on. Maybe when my son turns 2, you can start training him.
