What Keeps You In The Game ?

[Stub Mandrel]

I've found that joining an originals project is opening up some real learning for me.

 

Another dep gig has got me learning several new tunes and transposing a few I know which is interesting!

 

Finally, the odd jam or guest spot where you get thrown in at the deep end and have to come up with something with no prep is great ear training.

Stub I can go back and forth on this topic. This is how I feel today.

 

I'm 71 years old and I'm lucky I have something as cool as gigging  in a rock band almost every weekend. That's what's keeping me in the game. After almost 60 years I haven't lost the interest in this or the ability to play .

 

Plus I need the money. Lol

I just lose myself in the bliss of playing along with someone, even if not for money. 
I work from home and I have a stack of chores and tasks that dwarfs a Gallagher ego. It’s nice to be out….
