I've had more or less the entire last week off. Since playing the 40 Watt last Friday night, I've managed only my PM church gig (at that to a Super Bowl-shrunken congregation).
I'm not gonna lie…other than the fact that I made no money and we're living off savings this week (ouch), this has been a great week. I got plenty of sleep, plenty of exercise, plenty of time with my family, and time to practice. Ahhh! It's been awesome! During the day, I had to time to tinker with equipment, bang on the piano, watch YouTube videos. It's kind of what I imagined my life would be like as a professional musician (except for the whole no gigs/no money thing)--that I would have time to practice (the kind where you work on universal things, not the "holy shit! I have to play this Friday!" kinds of things), and still have time for my life outside of music. This is it! I'm lovin' it!
Next week is a lot more busy, with gigs Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and a rehearsal Thursday. Feed me, Seymour!
