After playing in a band with the same guys for 26 years in NYC, I didn't play out for 7 years when I moved to RI ... I guess I had lost my 'security blanket' ... but after finding myself often sitting down at the piano for 4 hours or so in the evening, my wife and I decided it was time for me to get out again... So now there are times when I go straight through a 4 hour gig without thinking about it .... heck, if I do it at home, why not do it when people are paying to listen?!? ....
