My hat's off to ya, Chris. I like the pun about you being Messianic, given your forename and all, ha-ha.
I've blithered a bit in another thread, so I'll try to sum some things up...
1) Realising that the people who were our heroes in the time of the '64 are Just Guys Like Us. There aren't any God Complexes here, nobody's wandering around with a smug sense of superiority. It's beautiful, it's humbling, and it's inspiring.
2) The Scene Welcomes Have A Go Joe. Whatever your personal talent, if you bend it to supporting the scene, then it's gratefully received. Anyone can play - and that makes every one of us mighty.
3) It's enough just to Be There - anything else you do or bring is bonus material, but just standing up to be counted is the core of it all.
It's a beautiful, special thing.
