I only ever payed a couple of restaurant gigs
One with a keyboard friend And a couple with my lead guitarist buddy

Actually I enjoy playing mostly instrumental for a change
Kick back mostly fun for us to play a elevator music as far as the clientele was concerned and jazz of our on making

I can not say I have been smart enough to never “work” but I have not been involved in much I did not find enjoyable

I have never really been driven just by money

Someone here said that if they were independently wealthy they would play for free

Some of the most fun gigs I have played have been for free

I am also sort of like Bob and get pretty excited about a really fu n gig

I agree about having a good work ethic but I don’t agree that playing music is just another job

Music requires a lot work and skill and a large amount of art

I also required a lot of business knowledge to make any money

Well I got moved out of the ICU to a private room about midnight
I guess they assume I am getting better
This is my first real trip to the hospital for anything serious sense Vietnam
Pretty isolating due to COVID
Makes you understand a bit more clearly you will no live forever
Cheers
Billy

“Amazing! I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig?
“Well…” Saint Peter, hesitated, “God’s got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing…”
