When I was talking with that well-known lead guitarist Monday we got to talking about musicians, and their working process... how do musicians get their inspiration? He mentioned an older gent (possibly some older blues player...it was not the lead in
Cannon's Jug Stompers....)...
This older gent would trail the aisles of supermarkets, and take half an hour to do one aisle. His niece or daughter wanted to get to know him better, and was told the best way to do this would be to join him at the supermarket. Nobody else in the family wanted to ever go shopping with this man, because it took too long... he would be reading the cans of obscure items, looking at ingredients. For writers the inspirational behavior (Hi Rob!) might be Googling, or reading the Obituaries... or I know a woman who vacuums in the nude until she feels ready to write. Got Milk™?
