"Uncle Larry"
I don't know where I'm going with this thread, but I wanted to relate a conversation between my 28 YO son and I.
We're both musically oriented in a big way. He stated that he gets more satisfaction from things like laying down tracks and engineering, mixing, mastering...than playing out live. Did I mention he's 28?
In contrast to me which my biggest thrill is playing live and always has been. It kind of parallels the other thread where it was said that (paraphrasing) that if I feel a certain way, or know a certain thing....it's easy to fall into the trap of assuming others feel and know those same certain things. Ha ha ha. I mean, what can top the thrill of playing live in close contact with the crowd?
Well, laying down tracks, engineering, mixing, mastering...to my son. I just assumed that since playing out is the highlight of my life, I assumed all musicians felt the same way. That's just silly.
There's no problem here, just a fascination with the contrasts. How we all perceive things in a unique way. No wonder bands break up.
