Happy to share that I've been practicing more, booking some shows, and working with my musician colleagues more recently. Somehow, I've been able to juggle the full time job, and take care of my family. At one point, I remembered that this was supposed to be "fun." That word is in quotations because “fun” is not accurate. More like, cathartic, and an expressive tool. This sounds very obvious when I say this out loud. Like, yeah the whole things about music and art capturing and expressing the unspeakable… all that… But most people who have deliberately chosen to play music as professionally will likely relate: Along the way, you forget why the hell you started playing. Here's to playing for the sake of play, for the connections it fosters, and for having a place to put all the unknown and unknowable.
