Full interview with John Papa Gros, formerly of the band Papa Grows Funk. John talks about his beloved Hammond B3 organ, playing the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, and about life on the road. Kim Wilson of The Fabulous Thunderbirds talks about bassist Steve Gomes and the importance of humility. The trend is to broadcast your life online with no filters. Live videos, raw photos, stream-of-consciousness posts.
But I think this omits the valuable activities of thought, planning, and editing. Even just a little can make your message clearer and more interesting. A lot of people think the world of online content is about making a big splash. But to me that is like starting a marathon with a full-twisting flip and thinking you are done. That move was cute, but you still have another 26 miles to cover.
Stamina and consistency are seen as kind of boring traits, but with online content I think they are way more important than that bit of inspiration that shows up once every few years. |
