Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics by Scott Ainslie to “Cold in Here” “I thought I felt a little cool breeze come through. What shall we do? Don’t it feel cold in here to you? Turn up the heat. Warm up your feet.” Loving, patient, and warm words take the chill out of the air between us – from the top of our heads to the tip of our toes. “Turn on the light, nothing seems right.” It’s up to me to turn to the light that shines within, even when things seem dark. When I look with love, I let the light come on again. “Come back again, I’ll make you laugh, just wait and see. It’s all right. Day breaks the night.” Our inner Voice tells us that the sun always comes up again. It feels so right to know that we can get past the tears and laugh again. “What’s done is past. Love’s all that lasts.” When it feels “cold in here,” we shall remember that love is the “good kind” of global warming.
Scott Ainslie’s mother played piano, and he started learning to play music at the same time he learned to talk, about 3 years old. He played all sorts of instruments, but when he first heard John Jackson sing and play guitar, that was his first taste of vital, homemade, handmade music. Scott sought out John and other experienced musicians. He says, “I’m a strong believer in the power and necessity of apprenticeships, and I also know when you love something, it will transform you; you should let the music change you before changing it.” He believes people in the old times played music to serve and support their families and communities. He also believes that musicians hold up a mirror to ourselves, and try to put us in someone else’s circumstances for a moment, which can create empathy and compassion, making the world a little kinder and breaking down the barriers. “What better use of white privilege could we have than to honor the multiracial nature of our country.” He says, “I think we can make the world a little better with something as ephemeral as music in the air.” In that way, musicians are servants to society and can inspire people; we can become better people playing on stage and performing music.
