I love watching a great musician practice their craft, in this image that musician is Chino Yuson. It really connects the musician and the music.
It was not always this way for me. Why bother going to a live show when I can enjoy the perfectly produced version. For years I could not relate to my friends and their love of live music. Things are very different for me now
I'd like to say that one day I had some epiphany, some magical experience that changed how I felt about live music but I can't. For me it crept up on me gradually. The product of years of being taken to gigs, concerts, band practice sessions and just watching amazing musicians practice their craft.
