Show Notes

プロのミュージシャンをやめて何年も経つのに、初めて行ったセッションバーで 「悔しい」と思ってしまった話です。 自分ではもうプライドを捨てたつもりでいました。でも捨てられていなかった。 その夜、雨の東京を駅まで小走りで帰りながら、楽しかった気持ちと悔しい気持ちが 同時に出てきました。 「悔しい」という感情は、悪くないんじゃないか。 大人になると減っていくこの感情について、一人で36分話しています。 後半では、このチャンネルをこれからどうしていくかについても少し話しました。 --- After years away from professional music, I went to a jam session bar in Tokyo for the first time. Everyone was warm and welcoming. I played Beatles songs with strangers and had a great time. And on the way home, I felt frustrated. I thought I had let go of my pride as a musician. I hadn't. This is a 36-minute solo episode about frustration, and why I think it might not be a bad feeling to have. Especially when you are learning a language.
