Music has been with me for the greater of my life. It started in grammar school with a with a humazoo, drums, and then guitar.
Excuse for preaching but I have lived a long life and sharing my music experiences is one of my joys.
It is OK to take time off from playing. If there is a true love for music you will come back stronger than before.
Do you love the performance or do you love music? If it is both, which is stronger.
With wisdom from I am not sure I rarely played from Tuesday to Thursday. Fridays yes – Saturdays always – Sunday if it was important. I love music and I knew I put so much into performing there was not enough of me to play a full week. I always looked forward the playing Fridays – I was brand new again.
In the late 60’s I turned to selling securities. They gave me a disk and a phone. For two years I made more money than ever. As the market dropped toward the end of the 60’s I realized that I had a bunch of money but I was no longer enjoying my life. I went back to my music – people – parties—weddings—I doubled my income playing the same amount jobs I was playing. I played and sang better because something inside me was happy again.
I played my guitar for two hours tonight. No single not lead, or strumming; just melody in chords. I was pleased with myself –then I thought; I must thank my first wife and my present wife; because I ran from them to my guitar and became an accomplished guitarist.
My wife does not go on Synthzone so I am safe, (smile)
