Best Part of Being A Live Musician:
On the heels of my show last night at ROOM 5, I was once again reminded of one of my favorite things about being a musician:
All the people you meet.
After the show last night, me and my “entourage” (as my new friend Tim put it) went out to 8oz Burger Bar on Melrose to have some late night food and drinks. I was telling Tim that in my opinion one of the best things about  playing music is all the different people you end up meeting. Whether you’re touring around the country, or playing around town, you are constantly put into new places, and subsequently meet all different sort of people.
I’ve actually gotten to the point that almost all my close friends are either musicians that I’ve played with, have met playing, or good people I’ve run into while out playing somewhere.
Music has brought me so much in my life. Expression, release, the euphoric joy of being in a groove on stage with other players, the sense of pride and satisfaction from creating songs and recordings… etc,
but the older I get the more I realize that the most important thing music brings is a common bond with others that leads to love and friendship in people you otherwise would never have even met.
