Some gigs will go great. I figure you do a gig, and as many as can get there will get there.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Basically, I live to do gigs.
The best gig is the one you've got.
I haven't been really nervous about a gig in a long time.
My ambition when I started out was to play two or three gigs a week. And that's what I'm doing.
I try to keep performing as much as possible - I just like to. I used to take huge gaps off between gigs, now I just like to do stand-up gigs as much as I can.
Each gig should be unique. You're always treading that line between keeping yourself fresh and giving people something they want to hear.
I have visualizations where I'm living in a really cool place - probably outside of town - with a really dope studio where I can record music or film things. Just have my own mini production house. That's really the thing I'd love to end up with the most and only do gigs when I needed to and also amass a little bit of a crew around me.
You can't get a good crew and a good sound system, and a good light system if you do a small tour. If you want the best, those guys want a commitment of about 4 to 6 months. And I'd want the best people and the best stuff.
I'm not interested in gigs unless I really want to do them. I walked away from music in 1997, and then there was a greatest hits in 2002. Thank God, it didn't do too well because the record company wouldn't promote it.
The more you write tunes, the better they will become. The more you do gigs, the better you will become.
