so um,
may I ask,
all those
New Music People
who are playing more gigs than I,
what exactly ARE you doing?
playing a fair amount of gigs,
not getting paid all that much at all (same here)
and making your money with a combo of
teaching and “other gigs” (likely, mostly teaching)
yes?
my life may in fact not be all that bad at all.
especially if this seldom pays much at all, which, does seem the case.
I’d rather play less often, and when I do, have it be big and huge and awesome, and then nothing. or at least, in a more ideal and better organized world, BIG and HUGE AGAIN, just MORE OFTEN.
but not smaller, not practical, not smaller and less.
that doesn’t do it for me.
you want a slice of pizza, I want the whole pie.
you want a drink, I wanna party hard and be unconscious in an alley and hurt for two days.
you want a nice leisurely drive through the country on a sunday,
I wanna drive so far I wreck the car and can’t walk for a year.
well, I’ve already got this life, so, mission accomplished.
lets’ continue getting ready for the next big project, which still may take years.
