Bystanders Quote by Charlie Musselwhite

“Sometimes the spirit is playing you. I call it following the will of the music, and when that feeling shows up, you just go with it. It's almost like I'm a bystander. I'm watching this happening, and it's not a mental process. It's just spontaneous.” quote by Charlie Musselwhite
