Usually wrong.
I was mulling over that confession last night, worried maybe I was being too honest about my high opinion of my own work, but realized that if you don't think you're any good, you probably won't even try. I'd rather make an ass out of myself (which I often do) than spend my life saying "I'd like to write someday, I'd like to paint." We all know people who say that and they seldom actually do go on to write or paint. You have to take the risk, crash ahead, succeed or fail, and accept that you'll do both. So I guess it's okay for me to say, yeah, I'm pretty good. But I've done more than my share of crap, too. Don't I know it.
What I was really thinking about when I mentioned a heavy axe is a cheap electric guitar I had in the 60s. It cost $100, and weighed a ton. The neck was thick, about twice that of a Fender, and the action was lousy, the strings about an inch above the frets. I played guitar and electric harmonica, sometimes at the same time. I'm using "played" loosely -- I made noise is what I did, with lots of reverb and feedback. I was in two bands, both short-lived. Played maybe four public gigs -- two per group. Sorry, no recordings exist. You'll have to take my word for it that it was bad. Imagine the worst psychedelia you've ever heard. But I had fun.
Thanks for the vote.
