<p>Hello everyone! &nbsp;I was thinking about discussing practice in this month's newsletter. &nbsp;However this past weekend on a short trip to Seattle, as I was walking around downtown near the Space Needle, I was also thinking about the concept of inspiration. &nbsp;When are we actively seeking inspiration, or do we just learn to be open to it at all times? &nbsp;Then it came to me, is practice just really a form of being creatively inspired? &nbsp;</p>

<p>Having just recently completed an album of mostly cover songs, I thought I would tackle the topic of artists recording and performing cover songs. My own experience with this topic begins from working as a musician in Oklahoma. &nbsp;There it seemed hard to get gigs if you didn't play cover songs that sounded like the originals. &nbsp;Moving to Portland, I have found the opposite to be true. &nbsp;Many prefer to hear artists that do primarily original material. &nbsp;Instead of spending the entire article on the merits of…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/6062077/so-what-am-i-trying-to-uncover">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>Along with being a bass hero and prog music favorite and pioneer, Chris Squire was also a great person and loved meeting fans. I had the opportunity to meet Chris and the rest of Yes at a fan event before a show in California in 2001 on the Magnification tour. He brought that same energy and joy of his playing to his interactions with all the fans that day. &nbsp;For further information on Chris Squire, please visit <a title="yesworld" href="http://yesworld.com" target="_blank">yesworld.com</a>.&nbsp;</p>
