Is there something wrong with me?
So we had two spots last night at the Opry, one at 7 and one at 10. That leaves me roughly 2 and a half hours between spots. To kill the time, I walked around downtown once and then settled at a bar called Legends Corner, mainly because I saw a bass player playing in there that I met when I first got into town. Well, his set lasted too long for me to want to hang out and talk to him, so I split after 3 songs. I thought ahead and brought the last installment of the Harry Potter series with me, but there wasn't anywhere I could just sit and read that I could see, so I took the book to my car. So, instead of taking in the sights and sounds of downtown Nashville, and possibly networking a little, I spent about 2 hours sitting in my car in the parking garage listening to Philip Glass and reading "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."
Is there something wrong with me? Shouldn't I have a drive or at least a desire to "be out there"? I guess this is why I go in and out of wanting to stop doing music and finding a real job. I want to play, but I don't really want to do any of the other stuff that it seems like I should be doing (or at least what people tell me I should be doing). On the other hand, what I have been doing seems to be working for me. I may not be in as many people's rolodexes, but I'm doing what many people never will get to do and would kill to do. And I honestly don't know if I want to be much busier than I am. When I don't have anything for awhile I get a little stir-crazy, but I hear about how busy some of my friends' lives are and I don't think I could handle that. It sounds great until I really think about it.
