Doc, as drummers I wonder how many of our relatively brilliant moments at gigs are noticed by audiences anyway, and even if they are noticed, how much are they remembered?
It was great in my teens and 20s bringing original material to the public at a time when the bar scene was buzzing. Not the same to be an old fart at a time where most venues turned into little gambling houses and most bands out there are playing covers. I'm happy to pass on the baton to Gen Next
who cares how many noticed. the good make it look easy anyway. it's all about giving up your vital juices. if they don't know then they needs to know.
OMG it's more important that they feel it anyway than that they notate a brilliant moment in time. just rock em. that's your (my) job.
now i'm not saying i'm a 300 gig a year well into my 70's type gigster at all. truth be known, i'd rather sleep in my own bed at the end of the night. but if for 1 weekend a month i can drop the super heavy THANG YOU NEED on somebody, then so shall it be if i am at all able.
not to mention occasionally running into the like-minded.
but on the personal human real world side of things...i think it's a darned shame that a drummer of your awesomacity is so unconcerned about whether you do or you don't. on an ideal planet, you would extend your world tour, come to america and be my drummer.
as all encompassingly well rounded as an artist as you are....haven't you heard anything that made you think Corr...i'd like in on that ...
