Mici but it takes a hell of a lot of work
and more than a better portion of your soul! LOL !
seriously. it does and i do treasure each of these wonderful ladies of wood and wire with all my heart and half my liver, but it took over 30 years of Engineering, Recording, Gigging(since15), Touring, Mastering, Jingles, bars from hell, theaters from hell, drunk soundmen, the light crew that WILL NOT use green gels, teaching 10 years taking to much of this that and the other
and
all that sh!t to get too those beauties(and beauties i say they are!)
the Keys , Studio and the house i always wanted with the wife I've always loved , Cin. (my wonder-filled wife of 20 years).
i now am, after hell , high-water and then some .. a professional musician and t feels wonderful .. more than i can say without a guitar.
IE: It pays the bills(below)
The Gigs are NICE
The Teaching is stable and , at times, a lot of fun
The new band (rec 2nd rec) is still new and fun
and Mastering has finally paid off (was hard during the PTools explosion lol
I think what i'm getting at here y'all is this.
not to sound smug--the opposite!
but
IF you want it ...its there and you can get it.
but
you have to practice, gig, mop, Tech, tour, rec, practice, gig, practice...your ass off 24/7 365 or it aint gonna happen, Dig?
I have BIG LOVE for all y'all wanting to learn this grand and honored craft, and if i can ever help you i will.. really
just remember
ya gotta put in some WORK ...
RAWK!
