John,
With all due respect, taking the "conversation" out of a live performance turns it into a studio recording. That process, for me, would require meticulous attention to detail, which I just don't have the mindset to do right now. The purpose of these live streams is to connect with my public, spread some joy, and create a reminder of what was once our normal. Live performers feed off the crowds, so even in this digital format - the crowd drives the energy of my performance. There's an exciting uncertainty that fuels an adrenaline-like feeling, and frankly ... there's nothing like it.
I enjoy recording, and when my time, and thought process align ... I will be delighted to make some recordings that really shine, but until I know where my next paycheck is coming from ... or how I will be able to earn another one ... I will entertain anyone willing to listen for as long as I'm able. When it's time to decide on how to proceed ... I'll address my options then. I have a few irons in the fire, and some very well thought out ideas for the next 10 years of my working environment.
Nothing's is certain. Nothing is promised. Hmmmmm .... sounds a lot like the way the music business has been MY WHOLE LIFE. lol
