the thing i miss most about being an active musician is being on stage

in #blog7 years ago

To be real honest i don't even know when this video is from .most likely around 2004 2005 ish ....around that time i was performing just about every weekend . we had a very strong and tight knit hip hop community in buffalo ny back then and alot of the bar owners and venues were friendly towards our movement .
This specific bar was called broadway joes , a dirty little dive bar in the college section of the city ,but every week you could go here and see great live music.
Not long after this i started my property maintenance business and started my family shortly after that so as most of the parents who might be reading this probably know , free time to be out at bars soon became a luxury i could no longer afford .
The one thing that i do know is that i miss the pure rush that being on stage and commanding the attention of the people in the room gives you ......100_1150.JPG

Im pretty sure that im going to be performing a lil bit more in the future .i feel like im losing alot of the things that made me who i am and i feel like i need to actively fight to preserve myself

Badass video man! Got skills!

thanks my man

There has got to be a better way to serve musicians. If you haven't checked out musicoin.org you should! we're trying to change the game for musicians like you and me!

I know the feeling. Hope you can get back on stage soon!
