Phew, it was a rough week in my little musical universe. Some tough gigs and a lot of negative energy surrounding them. I received a facebook invite from Small's Jazz to become a fan of Small's Jazz Club...Umm, I don't think so. Can you imagine? Here is a venue that has repeatedly ignored my requests to perform there for the past decade. They must have about 20 of my CDs floating around. More ego maniacs running the Jazz community here in NY.
I will play the piano in my living room and grateful for my weekly gig at Domaine Wine Bar.
Fortunately I am no longer actively pursuing music on the professional level. My sanity will thank me down the road. Since I am an artist, however, I must remain creative in order to keep my brain from decaying and ceasing; and falling victim to the dumbness of popular culture. I am going to make a feature film. It will be a monumental task that will require an enormous amount of energy, but the thought of it is thrilling.
I am thankful for the friends and kind people around me during this personal breakdown. It has been a bad year, mentally. Things will come around. It's always cyclical in nature, right?

hey man, i'm totally with you. i remember doing jam sessions and i thought to myself "why is everyone such a fucking asshole?" needless to say, i didn't enjoy the jam session thing. in fact i hated it and it's the same with the biz. you know, it's all good because there are many musicians out there fighting and i'm just another, but i would rather save my dignity then continue beating myself over the head with a sledge hammer - right? anyway, yeah - your last sentence really articulates it beautifully!
