Got ogether this morning for breakfast with the guys I was in a band with back in high school. Several others were also there who played back then....ages 65+

We all talked about our health problems. A few dealing with cancer(one diagnosed as terminal), others with heart problems and you name it types of health problems.

Yet all we're planning their summer gigs and talking about buying new equipment.

It wasn't about needing the money, it was about the love of the craft.

After graduation, we all went our separate ways...got back together after retirement....40 some odd years later.

We all had careers other than music...yet music continues to be the driving force in our lives.

Maybe music is the thing that makes it worth it to get up and get going each day?
