I’m stunned at the array of places the music business has taken me.
The life you have in the this business is going to take you some interesting places. A handful of times per year you will find yourself playing a gig in an awful place. Dingy, depressing, in the sticks, terrible system, terrible people, no people, lots of people/no security.
We all have our war stories.
And then a handful of times per year you wind up in amazing places you could have never guessed playing music would bring you to.
Places that are off limits or at least out of the realm of possibility for anyone in any other profession other than music. Beautiful cities and buildings. The country side and a wide expanse of nothingness in all it’s natural glory.
The music business is a wild place. Cherish the good nights.
