Quote: “In short I did and brought whatever it was that was necessary to put on the very best performance I could for the audience and never did mind really having to hump all the stuff, to me it was just a privilege to play and be paid and enjoyed by people that only a small percentage of all the musicians out there get the opportunity to do. Terry"

Now that is the kind of attitude that I can really admire. That kind of thinking I can relate to. After forty years with my seven piece dance band and the last ten years as a solo keyboard act, I can agree wholeheartedly. All those years doing my best to please the people we worked for no matter what we had to do, carry, set up and tear down has brought me great satisfaction, not to mention those who we played for. Never cut corners for our own benefit whether weight or amount of gear needed. Great satisfaction and pleasure of accomplishment when looking back. Even today at 77, pleasing people and not self brings me great joy after each job. Retire? Ya, maybe after I croak! Terry that attitude will always carry you through the hard times and will always set you a notch above the average pro in what ever endeavor you choose. Just a few thoughts from an old guy nearing the end of things.
