Hi Scott, I wanted to express my thanks for the video and your kind words - it's fascinating to see somebody playing something so deeply ingrained in my brain and fingers. Different nuances come out and your own musical experience and personality become a part of it - very cool!
I don't remember when I ever got to have the artist whose song I just covered tell me about it afterwards. I just find it super cool that Rob is so awesome and also that this little moment happened.
Both of you are awesome, and keep on being awesome. And Scott, now you have to do the whole thing! (Steve laughs evilly, because no one is making
him do it, and because "One Cloud" is one of his favorite Stick tunes and he'd love any excuse to hear it covered. So much so that he started referring to himself in the 3rd person.) And he knows Scott is awesome enough to be able to do it.
On a somewhat serious note, I was struck that the closest feeling I've had to Rob's is when I watch a piano player play something that I wrote down. I'm a slow reader of music, and an even slower writer of all them notes down on paper. And I've heard and seen myself play my own tunes before. But when a "real" pianist sits down at your pages scrawled with black notes, and out comes a tune you've only heard yourself play before, it's an amazing feeling. Just the best.
What a happy moment, guys! Keep on rocking it out! Scott, let's hear the rest of it. Rob, please make 45 more! (And I'd like a pony, too!)
