Is happiness really looking forward to something?
In my garage band, we have a gig this weekend and another one next month. In my studio jam band, we have no gigs lined up. Seems like unless I make it happen, there will be no gigs. Three of the five members are complaining about not having a gig. It tends to lower moral and create disinterest. I know it does for me.
Even though gigs don't pay on this level, and even if you get a gig, all the money goes back into the band's expenses rather than out of your pocket. But in the garage band we have high moral, and everybody is excited about the band and playing a couple gigs here shortly. I know I am.
I'm even getting an extra rehearsal in today. I'm getting in to work early because I have one today at 3:30 with most of the garage band, and then I do my usual practice in the evening with the jam band.
