“Now the seats are all empty, let the roadies take the stage, pack it up and tear it down… But when that last guitar’s been packed away, you know that I still want to play. So just make sure you’ve got it all to set to go before you come for my piano.”
– Lyric from Jackson Browne’s “The Load Out”
If we weren’t getting paid to do it, would we still do it?
If no one was keeping score, would we still practice?
If the only people watching were us, would we still make our best effort?
If the answer is “Yes!” then we’re doing what we love.
Carry on.
If the answer is no, consider a change. In the meantime, audience or no, nail it!
