maya vs. the guitar, round 1
See those lines? Those are the indentations a guitar string makes on one’s fingertips after a round of practice. Doesn’t the photo angle of this make me look like I have weird distorted fingers??? Kind of freaky ain’t it?
Whoever thought it would be a good idea to mash steel wires down into wood with my delicate, innervated, flesh? Idiot! Moron!
Oh wait, was that me?
Urm.
I now know eight chords. But changing between chords is hopeless. Hopeless I tell you! Why don’t I just stick with writing novels, for heaven’s sake? Novels are so much easier!

"Dusi's Wings" April, 2003. . . .
"One thing fantasy can do for us is to give shape to the mysterious in the world; another is to make emotional yearning concrete. The early sections of "Dusi's Wings" do just that...there was a strong grasping towards the spiritual in fantasy here that was very promising, and I look forward to reading more by Lassiter." --review, Tangent Online.twitterage

After recording Helter Skelter, someone yelled, “I’ve got blisters on my fingers.” I always thought that was a great guitar player credo. I learned recently it was Ringo, but I still love the concept. You’re in good company……..craig
Practice enough to get callouses, but not enough to get blisters (which halt practice) this is my credo at the moment.
