Can't say I agree with that. There are some that think ALL life is precious, even mosquitos and cockroaches, but I can safely say that I, for one, wouldn't miss them. But that's not the point. Donny was going for a totally different vibe for this post and he explains it very well here....

"I think we are veering off course or topic worrying about the actual performances posted, that's Not it,...
let's just discuss the overall trials and tribulations of being a PRO One Man Band musician who makes a full time living playing music in the trenches year after year. I understand that some have not even been in front of or experienced a paying audience to play for or have to worry about where you next gig is coming from, and all that goes on behind the scenes to book jobs, advertise, promote, pay your bills, send kids to school, and survive financially only from a life in Music...sure it's possible that is proven, but there is alot involved and needs to be taken seriously when people depend on you. It's all part of the LIFE of a OMB Player...".

Of course, posting performances almost guaranteed that the post would devolve into a series of critiques of each performance. Still, I think it (the thread) did a good job of providing some insight into 'a day in the life' of a OMB performer.
