Hurricane sez :
O . K . Wind baggers .........
Never has it been easy for a musician , not yesterday , not now , not tomorrow . It will not change
- - But - -
Buck up , just read about the lives of Bessie Smith and others like her .
Men like Bix Biederbecke ,
The musical lane is covered replete with the bodies of musicians . Even when the few who do make have it no less problematic .
Hendrix
Little Walter
Keith Moon
Do I need to go on ..
And this thread needs to die too .
Toughen up yer hides and no more whiners !
Personally I see Blue Skys up ahead for music in general , no time for the timid , got to bust yer butt out there to nail down a gig .
Competition ,
It's the name of the game , no matter where ya play it it's always the same .
Winners fail too but constantly work at it and whiners loooose and whine all the time about it .
Ruth Brown told me ,
Quote :
" When something bad happens to you and really gets you down and you feel like life's not worth it and maybe I should give up and quit , that's when you have to take that { moment's } bad energy and " USE " it to direct your self towards an attack that will get you the results your after " .
She said she lived by this creed .
Read about her & Bessie then write about the
" DEATH OF lIVE MUSIC " .
It's a jungle out der and always was and will be !
Danger Danger young Will Harpmanson .. . be verwy verwy cawwweful .
And please those who are at home reading this and wondering out loud :
" Hmmmmmmmmmmm maybe I could do this " :
Disclaimer :
READ FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY .........
If regection gets to you - - - -
...........don't try to do this at home !
Only trrrrrrrained pwofessional stunt junkies can do this stuff and not die heh heh heh heh !
IN closing :
When it gets down to it , ya gotta luv it an dats dats ,
forget about the money & the whinin ,
it will come ( money if ya got the talent and dedication )in time if you stick to and have what it takes .
It's a crap shoot at best , now pal , do you feel lucky ?
Didn't intend on beating anyone up here , but , it's a dirty job .
Rest in peace Pal Delay , one of the hardest working men I ever heard blow a harp .
Sincerely :
Hurricane Ramon
