Look at that pencil lying there. Easy to pick up right?
Now: as you attempt to pick it up with one hand, use your other hand to hold down the lifting hand. Harder to pick up now.
Seems stupid but ...
how often do we unwittingly do exactly the same thing when playing?
PS Tom Gibson filmed another podcast with me and Eric Bubacz, a fantastic tubist from Atlanta. Basically we were just hacking around improvising stuff over tuning drones. Don't know when it will be posted. Oh yeah, I had the good fortune to hang out for the 45 minutes or so of that Wycliffe recording session he filmed. Very cool (as in...him, not me)
