I tried taking some time off to go make music with another group, when I came back, (Union gig - had to call in the union to enforce my return to the organization)things hadn't changed much, but it's been easier to blow off the garbage.
I took up harp about 5.5 years ago so I could accompany myself instead of relying on other musicians. It meant I had to learn new genres, which brought me here, and it opened up whole new vistas.
Sometimes a change is a good as a vacation.
