We could play them through the week, and then the weekend we could play the black joints. I learned to be very versatile and learned to love it. So it stays with me even up to now.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Occasionally, I have time to go to the theater, and I think for a minute, 'Man, I'd really love to be doing a play right now.' Because I loved doing plays when I was doing them. Then I think, 'I want to do it right now, but will I want to do that Sunday matinee in six weeks?'
This play is truly a great invention, and we're having a great time doing it eight times a week.
A play is much easier to maintain your personal life with because if you're rehearsing, you're working like from 11 to 6 or 11 to 5 and you get to have your whole morning and your whole evening. When you're doing the play, you have all day.
Very often my weekends are spent performing on Saturday, on stage in the afternoon and again in the evening.
It's always been fun for me to play a variety of parts, and over the years, I've been lucky with the things I've been asked to do.
I play like I play. You hear it on 'Celebration Day.' It's pretty good for a one-night shot.
When you're doing a one-man play, you maybe rehearse for a month, and then you're just doing it an hour or two a night.
I really didn't have a plan, I just went in and started playing. one of my specialties was to be able to play for a really long time without stopping and I would play these repeated patterns for hours and hours and I wouldn't seem to get tired.
Our main thing we'd have to entertain us: All my uncles would come over, and we'd sit around the living room on a weekend night, and we'd play. That was a big event for me, getting to play. We never did have any percussion.
I come to play everyday.
