So, with all this mid-live stuff going on and all this trying to find my place in life in spite (or is it despite?) actually getting an opportunity to do what it is I do, I was struck last week with what I’m looking for…
The band.
I realized that being in the band encompassed everything I like to do. No wonder I was “married” to the band. It defined me. It was who I was. Perhaps it still is who I am. I loved, absolutely loved everything about being in the band. There was little, if anything, that being in the band didn’t touch upon my life, on all the things I like. Production, building things, creative expression both musically and production wise, the lights, the sound, being on stage, being backstage, the travel, the driving, the camaraderie, the inside jokes, the outside jokes, the phone calls, the people we met, the places we traveled, the load in, the load out, the good food, the bad food, the experiences, the playing, the recording, the practicing…
I could keep going for days. Maybe it’s time to get the band back together…
