They frequented the restaurant I played....It's "Right place; right time".....Talent has little to do with it.....The music connection got me in......Pure luck.
Russ.....your posts are always interesting for me. You tell everything like it is in the music industry.....the ups and downs, the back and forths, the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
Seriously, I've been in a holding pattern for the last year or two figuring out how to reinvent myself to get back to work. I think my standard OMB days are over. Audiences are waning for that kind of gig.
Your posts help me to think outside of the box. That there are many outlets and different gigs still available out there if you look hard enough. I was even considering DisneyWorld.
I still haven't figured out how to get back into the playing field, but I always feel my brain shift into high gear when I read your "out of the box" candid posts.
Keep them coming.....they're helping me to exercise my "alternative thinking" process!
