Yup, it’s Christmas time again, and yes, I’m loving it; but not just because of the holiday and the eating, and the gift-giving and the family time. Christmas time also means gigs. Parties, church, extra shifts at the restaurant. Gigs and more gigs.
No, it ain’t about the money, though the money always helps. It’s all about being able to play – a lot. For instance, I just got done with five days in a row of gigs this evening. Did a couple of parties, an extra shift at the restaurant, and did my church gig tonight.
My fingertips feel tender, my voice is a little scratchy, I’m physically exhausted. But I’m on a total high! You see, I just live to play; whether it’s gigs or in the studio, I’m at my happiest and most fulfilled when I have a guitar strapped to my shoulder and a microphone in front of me. I don’t care if I’m making money at it or not. What’s important is having an outlet for my creativity, and gigging gives me that.
Some day, I’ll make it my full time profession. But for now, I’m just content getting out as much as I can.
