Thread Name: Are Musicians Loners?
Subject: RE: Are Musicians Loners?
Interesting question. I wouldn't say I'm a loner, because the main reason I like playing/singing is the social side of it all - meeting other people, singing/playing with them, or to them, or listening to them. I would have thought a loner is someone who doesn't like social interaction very much.

But there are obviously times when you need to be more or less alone, to practice new material, or if you're a songwriter, to concentrate on writing without being interrupted.

My main problem is lack of time, rather than space. With a day job, a wife, family, etc., and a fairly busy social life, I don't seem to get as much time as I'd like to learn new songs properly, practice playing, etc.

Oops, have to dash now.
