Human Sensorium - Sensorial Experience - A Night in California Bar

" Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development,
invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears."
- Edgar Allan Poe

There are always some kind of magical moment. You cry when you've seen a good show, watched a fantastic movie, listened to a piece of nice music, or attended a great performance. There are thousands of reason to be touched.

Thanks to my sound sensitiveness, I can be easily tensed up by a simple bit of noise. I can also be easily touched by a simple tune, especially live performance... (forgive me, it's hard to put these into words....)

Watching the friday jazz in California Bar becomes part of my life. I feel uneasy if I've missed it. Am I addicted? sort of... maybe~

On a heavy rainy friday night, stressed by works and words, I insisted on going for what I want and something that keeps me alive. Sure I have no regret for doing this. It's amazing. It was like a familiar scene from the movie. I'm touched, really touched. 5 musicians first time got together and played. 3 of them I've been seeing for over a month. It was a coincidence that I happened to know the pianist, Bob, half a year ago and this was the first time for him to play in this bar. I've never seen Gary,  the drummer and Balu, the guitarist playing in such a good mood and spirit before. Gary told me, it's because of the pianist.

Musical communication is something that you cannot really talk about but experience and acquaintance. I really enjoyed the moment seeing these guys thinking of what to play. Playing whatever came up in their mind without any pressure from the audience. Because of the heavy rain outside, there ain't much people in the bar. Those who happened to be there are genuine listeners. What a spiritual night. I'll always remember this, "Take Five", a classic familiar tune, being liven up by these fantastic jazz band. I love it. It "excites my sensitive soul to tears." Thanks god.

This is the so-called sensorial experience that I always long for. An experience that liven up my sensitive soul.
