I was reading some of the brief interviews in this month’s Guitar World Acoustic magazine (the one with Dave Matthews on the cover). In the span of two interviews I saw two articles that grabbed my attention. Funny how the holy spirit speaks to me in interesting ways sometimes…

“At the beginning, you really have to win your fans over one at a time, like it’s addition. After a while, a friend tells a friend, and it starts to multiply”
– from the interview of Howie Day

“You get to the point where since what you do isn’t working, you just charge out and try anything. “
– from the interview of Ryan Adams

These two quotes struck me as encouraging in the creative work that we’re in. Keep plugging away, little by little, try anything that seems good, don’t get discouraged, keep at it.
