I go into a "zone" often to help keep myself sane in this crazy world. music is the window to the soul, it can say things that word cannot.

I'm training to be a music teacher, and I'm a guitarist and parent, so it was great to be reminded of the power of the guitar with my kids AND in the classroom. Thanks for the story!

Nick’s right... time stands still when those six strings ring. I always try and keep my acoustic somewhere accessible...for a quick strum to re-center the moment. Also...Kudos to you my friend, I believe it takes something special to be a teacher. Its one thing to comprehend “something” but to be able to communicate that “something” to others so they too comprehend is something to behold. Keep it up man.

I love that song: "Play guitar!" Did you know R.E.M. recorded 3 of their albums in his studio in the early nineties? It's world renowned. Also, his drummer very sought out for projects. @Jessica: You are great. Thank you for recognizing the core of what I do which is to inspire kids on the job in my classroom! @Nick: Thought so!

I think it's awesome that instead of just yelling for everyone to quiet down, you pick up your guitar and use that as a positive step towards the goal. Not only am I sure that they appreciate hearing you play, they are also learning that music can be a powerful messenger, as well as a great way to relax and change moods. Super post! Hope you guys had a very happy 4th! Every time I hear about your little teaching tricks, Damien, I admire your skill as an instructor and your dedication to the kids more and more.

I know that song and it rocks! Now you have it stuck in my head ... the one I am thinking of goes: "quit all that macho sh** and learn how to play guitar, PLAY GUITAR." Nice comment dude. @Dunn: There's two types of people in the world and they both relate ... those who play guitar and those who enjoy hearing it. Some are both :) Thanks for your comment, have a wonderful Saturday. @Nick: Is that John Cougar? I know that song and it rocks!
