Dear 1999

Ok, so, the cats at musicianwages.com has asked music bloggers to participate in a group blogging event today (12/30/09). The topic is a question- If you could go back to 1999 and give yourself one piece of advice, what would it be?

My response is short and sweet but it definitely addresses the single biggest issue of the last decade of my musical life.

Play. Every chance you get, just play. Trust that you can do whatever the gig is and give it hell. Your life will not end nor will your soul be lost because of any wrong notes. Fact is, 99.9% of the people that will hear you won’t even know (or care, if they do). So get over yourself and play.
