Peoples that are themselves

 I am the first to admit it: being around people is not my strong point.  I avoid the crowd, whenever I can, where ever it is.  One on one person meeting is okay.  But when there is an interesting person, I do not shy away.  By interesting person, I am talking about a person like the one talking in this video:

That man talk about old guitars.    He seems to be authentic, approachable and is passionate about his interest about guitar.  I may not share his passion about old guitar but what I like in him: his individuality.  He is a person that go down to his interest and not bother about what other people think. 

There was no critique about his lifestyle in the video.  It is  not the point anyway.  He have something to say and he look confident.  He know his stuff and share with people who are also passionate as he is.  It is nice to see a video like that.  I like that kind of person that is happy by something that he like.  The world need a bit more of people who are more interested in their passion.  It is better than going to war.

I think it is great to listen to this guy.  What I liked the most: when he say to play with old guitar.  I agree that musical instrument are not good at gathering dust.  Guitar are meant to be play, whatever the age of the instrument.  Having fun with a possession, especially when you know how to use the item, it is a precious moment.  Why just look at it?  Just looking at objects seems to be akin to the collections of a museum.  Playing a musical instrument is an intangible work of art.  It bring appreciation and I find it a creative outlet.  Playing for ourselves or for other, it does not matter.  The important is to enjoy the moment of music expression!
