unearned exhaustion

i'm incredibly tired at the moment for no explainable reason, so we'll keep this short.

yesterday, i saw a man turn his body and his acoustic guitar into a wild dance of rythym and music and it was un-fucking-believable. Tommy Emmanuel. He had the Josh Ritter smile (if you don't know Josh Ritter, he is a singer-songwriter with the joy of life in its purest form in his smile. he knows something most people don't). I am convinced that the key to life can be found before a small crowd, on a small stage with music between your fingers. and that is all. The man played bass parts, guitar, rhythm, melody, drums, all using a beat-up looking acoustic guitar. He did a cover of My Michelle almost entirely composed of harmonics. He sang the Blues. Fine stuff.
