Hey all. Just sitting here on a Saturday night, listening to some of his live performances while cooking supper. I have always been one of those people who Pursues learning music, weather it’s guitar or singing, but have never been one to go to school for it. I see a meme the other day that said “70% of the worlds talent will never be found due to a lack of confidence”....and I can totally understand that. I base everything I do musically around Chris Cornell, Eddie vedde, lane Staley...because I feel that the era and music scene around that time produced some of the best musicians of all time. I can’t be nieve enough to think that his wife or kids or family will ever read this, but you know how when you were a kid, and you saw Superman or Batman on tv? Well Chris was a superhero to me. I’m a 200 pound Canadian man, works in heavy equipment....and cried my eyes out when he died. He was absolutely everything I wanted to strive to be even a shadow of musically. Not saying in any way that I could ever be as good by any stretch, but that’s who I would like to be like. Have you watched his unplugged sets? He doesn’t miss a note. I feel so horrible for his family and friends, and feel like I lost a family member. I’m shy and don’t sing in front of others, even though I know I can. Especially after singing to his songs, alone, in the cab of a huge machine all day, every day. 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. If you sing...play an instrument....take a leap or a chance. Get yourself out there. But not for the money...but to do it because you love it. Maybe we can see more like Chris in the future.
