brilliance and envy

i had my first guitar lesson with my roommate last night. after a while, my poor fingertips couldn't take any more pressure, so in an effort to direct the attention away from me, i asked him to play something that he wrote. it was amazing. he is an incredible musician with a gripping vision. i've heard him play here and there and i knew he was good, but this performance was electrifying. people must hear him. must. the story and the song still linger this morning.

i wish i could inspire similar impressions.
