On the Santana-Shorter DVD, Carlos Santana described Areas as, "...having the gift of perpetual time, knowing where '1' is all the time [wherever he is in music]..." It was then I finally understood how he (Areas) could do what he did in music, and still end up sounding good...And future percussionists can learn from that understanding and improve their own repertoire, their own musicanship...
Yeah we OLD ...we waaaaay beyond 11-12 yrs old (when, essentially, we didn't know crap but thought we knew encyclopaedia-loads) (when we got the eponymous ('Lionhead') Santana album)...we don't deify nobody no more...
Sincerely,
Dirk Sampath.
