I was a standup comic performing in dingy clubs with no climate control, but I left that circuit a few years ago because I just wasn’t feeling it anymore
My back was really sore a few days ago but now it is loosening up and starting to feel good again. I think I either pulled it or it was hurting from stress, but now it is getting better and I will be able to play some music tomorrow with my band with little ado. I just need to rest up today so that tomorrow I have more energy and can play drums and sing once again and get the band moving ahead like it has been the past year or so. I bought a sound system from an HVAC tech and have been playing in this band steadily the past year, recording 24 songs in the process, some of which are really good songs that I listen to over and over. We are both cooling reps and work part time at the local business and then the rest of the time is spent working on the band or just doing our own things and living life. We will probably never be big and famous but that really doesn’t matter to me anymore, I am more concerned with just making some good songs and having fun in the band playing music together. I was a standup comic performing in dingy clubs with no climate control, but I left that circuit a few years ago because I just wasn’t feeling it anymore. It is more fun working with other musicians than being on a stage all alone trying to win over tough crowds. I now play in swanky bars with fireplaces and other air conditioned clubs in the summer.
