skullguise 4,349 Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Oh, man, that's sad and incredible.....ALMOST worse than if he passed away.....very sorry to see that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Voltron 24,802 Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Incredibly sad. I can't imagine Keith Jarrett being unable to play the piano. Ric and I were in one of those audiences that he harranged for coughing too much, and many in the audience turned against him and openly heckled him. A meaner person might suggest a karmic retribution, but even that night he returned to the stage and took requests until he got back into the music and played quite awhile longer. 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dusty Chalk 8,484 Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Wow, yeah, that’s just what a stroke is like. There’s a cognitive disconnect. The only reason I figured out right away that I was having one was because my mother had started having them and we (my sisters and I) were doing research and sharing with each other. But I will admit, it took me a while. I feel very fortunate that I completely recovered. I can’t even imagine what that feels like, emotionally, to realize it’s permanent. That would be hell.

That concert and hearing for the first time in an concert space, certainly an acoustically great full concert space, but sounds I never had similarly before, a person within sight, but down the isle, rotating his thumb on a water bottle label, a foot slightly shifting, in likely a still shoe, a row back and down... I mean even when I type that it sounds like an exaggeration... except I mentioned both after the show. I'd never experience massive group silence before. That degree of silence anyway. Even it it was interrupted with yells. Artist v. audience is always an interesting battle, but Jarrett made me a convert to his side. I can't thank you enough for the invite. I hope Jarrett can find contentment within his situation and maybe even find a way to still musically create to his high standards. And sorry to hear you've gone through it Dusty. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

swt61 9,760 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 I would think you'd need at least a basic knowledge of how to play one in order to build one. Hence my ability to build a great Ebony penis extension. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
