Conheci Bob Bradshaw em 1998. Ou talvez tenha sido em 99… na época, viva na sala de um apartamento de dois quartos que dividia com dois amigos em Hollywood.
Já tinha ouvido falar dele ou visto seu nome muitas vezes, em revistas como a Guitar Player, ídolos da música na minha adolescência, professores, colegas de GIT e heróis da guitarra que tive a chance de assistir ao vivo.
I met Bob Bradshaw back in ‘98 or maybe it was ‘99… I was living in the living room of a two bedroom apartment I shared with a couple roommates in Hollywood.
I had heard of him and seen his name many times in Guitar Player magazine, from musician heroes of mine going all the way back to Brazil as a teenager, to teachers, fellow students at Musicians Institute to LA guitar legends I went to see live.
The songs on Sem Palavras feel like breadcrumbs found along the way, during this lifetime walk… I don’t know who left them but I accepted the invitation to continue exploring the journey, uncovering the path, discovering them whenever they presented themselves and as a consequence, discover myself.
