The Chosen

當代鄉村樂風的吉他翹楚 ─ Brad Paisley，
這位深深被耶穌的愛所吸引的 guitar monster，
曾經說了一段讓我很有感受的話。

我想，這正是每一個吉他手這一生最美的禮物吧。

(In the thanksgiving of the album "PLAY")


          When I was eight I got a gift from my grandpa.
No coincidence that around that time I also got an
identity.  See, no matter how I have changed, learned
and evolved as a person, the guitar has been a major
part of it, and really the only constant. 

          A crutch, a shrink, a friend, love interest, parachute,
flying machine, soapbox, canvas, liability, investment,
jackpot, tease, a sage, a gateway, an addiction,
a recovery, a temptress, a church, a voice, veil, armor,
and lifeline.

         My grandpa knew it could be many of these things
for me, but mostly he just wanted me to never be alone. 
He said if I learned to play, anything would be manageable,
and life would be richer.  You can get through some real
tough moments with that guitar on your knee. 

         When life gets intense, there are people who drink,
who seek counseling, eat, or watch TV, pray, cry, sleep,
and so on.

          I play.
