Don't get me wrong I've had a great run all these 50+ years due to music............but the passion and drive sometimes is an up & down feeling due to the burnt out syndrome, too much performing live can cause, or maybe you think the audiences are changing & not in your favor, DJ's, younger crowds, getting older,....and you need a break from it all.....or try other avenues of music, recording, writing, creating, playing or buying a new instrument, or new way of doing your act, playing with others for a change,......or maybe just sitting home and playing in your room. When you start saying FOR WHAT? weird feelings start to set in,...how you cope is an individual thing. Times change even for a performer....
