I miss music. I miss my life in music. The opportunity to share music is the someone I miss.
It is true that I never achieved any kind of fame or fortune in music. I am essentially a nobody. So why do I miss being a nobody? When I was busy playing a lot, enough to support my family which is no small feat in jazz in any city, I would spend far more hours in meetings and planning than I would on a stage. I was taking care of networking and bookings. All this was worth it for those few moments life would grant me in front of a microphone. In those moments I feel like my self ceases to exist and I am transported to a higher plane of existence. I am not hungry. I feel no pain. I simply am. It is like being in the centre of a perfect moment. Weightless, timeless, bliss. No wonder I miss it. Some might say I am one with God. Call it what you will. There is nothing like it.
My life in music carried me through my most difficult years. I am grateful for it and I dare hope that an opportunity to create a new life in music is waiting around the next corner. Let’s go see…
Namaste!
