***i always forget that there is a performative aspect of muscianship, that the person on stage/in a video is but isn't the real person. we know when our friends are acting, but we think strangers just are as they present themselves, which perhaps leads to so much of the mystique surrounding musicians. their real lives are only fantastic extensions of that which was pretended on stage. obviously this is not always true, but regardless, one should be careful not to idealize artists. anyway, i thought of this because we have met these guys at a school thing and you really never know what people are capable of! and it's interesting to see what i just wrote about from the reverse position.***
