Thanks. I guess maybe somewhere deep inside, I needed a dose of encouragement. In lasts weeks post, the implied message was that it seemed like my live-performance activity was something I could let slide, and somehow feel ok about. Suddenly I started getting inquiries, lots of them, about when I'm going to play again. They were coming from sources near and far, known and unknown, in person and by email. Enough of them to convince me that people really do care, more than I thought.
I remember an old tv commercial from when I was growing up, one of the many really dumb ones. It was an advertisement for an after-shave product, maybe Gillette's Skin Bracer After-Shave. A guy is looking at his freshly shaved, quite ordinary face in the bathroom mirror. A hand appears from off-screen and slaps the guy hard on the side of his face. The guy says "Thanks. I needed that."
Now I'm that guy. So to all of you who have been asking when I'm going to perform again and encouraging me to do so, I say Thanks. I needed that. I'll make the changes necessary in my life to make it happen. And I can't wait.
