I just went for a ride and it is really windy and cold out. We are supposed to play music later but I have a feeling there won’t be anybody on the streets because of the nasty weather. Oh well, we will play anyway and try to come up with some new sounds and songs. We had a great run of songs last month and now we need to let go of them and move on to new ones. It is easy to cling to the familiar and not grow, but to become great you need to push ahead. Heating is on the agenda as I sit in my flat next to my little infrared electric heater. I am a bit tired of playing today in the cold, but then again I had the same voice trying to keep me off the stage when I was doing standup. “This club has no a/c, that club has no heating, I have a sore throat”, there are a million excuses that try to hold us down and you have to ignore them and forge ahead. My HVAC rep friend told me that if you have talent, you have to push through fear to get to success. I remember her telling me this as we worked on a commercial HVAC system a few years ago, and I couldn’t agree with her more. I will keep pushing ahead and hoping for better times with our music, I just hope I have the tenacity to do so. Well, I am going to change my furnace filter, see ya on the streets.
