Reading the above posts...reminds me..that "success" is enjoying what you do...I don't care if it's your "day" job or "moonlighting"...If you aren't happy...why even do it...

I can say this..I have never worked a job ...including my income producing day job...that wasn't something I wanted to do..Maybe that is why excluding a couple winter time day jobs..I have always worked for my self (and Uncle Sam)..

Real joy, is playing music because you want to....not because you have to....

The worst partner(s), I can think of on stage is the one that needs to perform for a living....

Performing is a mentality...you have to love being there...no matter how you do it...just do it to enjoy yourself...
