Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll
I'm working as a professional musician for the summer - which is a hard thing. Most musicians don't live the stereotypical life of Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll, but we all get a little glimpse now and then - just enough to keep us going - enough to keep us thinking, "maybe I can make it."
Really, being a musician means a lot of driving, and lifting heavy equipment. For any given job, I might spend more time packing up my car, getting there, setting up, breaking down and going home, than I do actually playing my instrument.
With that in mind, there is a lot of down-time involved with being a musician, and during my drive to Newport, New York or the boat to Nantucket - I'll use this blog to talk about what's on my mind!
...it's sort of a more socially acceptable way to talk to yourself ;-)
