Q: And thats when you started playing at Sin-é? Jeff: [corrects my pronunciation] Shin-AY. Right. And other places too. First Street Cafe, Cornelia Street Cafe, Bang On, Tramps, the Knitting Factory. Anything I could find, basically. Over and over and over and over again. So I dont know what I can tell you. The only way to really make it -- anywhere -- is to put every bit of your being into the thing that only you can provide. The only angle is the art that you choose, that only you can provide. And to do that, you have to be quiet for a long time and find out what you bring forth. You have to know whats in yourself -- all your eccentricities, all your banalities, the full flavor of your woe and your joy. What does it look like? What does it feel like? What makes it different from everybody elses. Its totally subjective. Youre just given the task of bringing it up. Its like going up to some girl with a guitar and saying, you are the only one, right now, who can make your music. Right now. You dont even know how to play the guitar. Youll find it, youll find that chord, if you express your hear, now. Youll find that small inner platinum mine, that reservoir. Its something thats there, you just have to dig deep and find it. But its something you have to do yourself. Its not something that can be pulled out of you by any teacher, not any that Ive ever met. None. Close friends can tell you when youre finding. Other people who are out there doing it, theyre good to talk to. But you have to find it yourself. Jeff Buckley. Wow.
