Members sventvkg Posted October 21, 2011 Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 Living in Nashville, writing and doing studio work full time and there not being regular gigs, i'm getting rusty when I DO have one!! There just isn't time to stay in tip top shape and playing once or twice a month ain't cutting it! It's frustrating because all my life I've been so fluid and now when I do a round I've had little time to practice or even work up my new tunes because I'm always writing new ones. My wife says really only she and I can tell but I'm flubbing lyrics I should know, my voice isn't really in shape because unless I'm cutting vocals for a few days, I can go weeks without even singing....ARG!!! I kinda wish I had a regular gig a week or 2 just to keep the chops up, ya know? END OF VENT RANT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally keeps me "in shape" for when I am performing at a venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pinkfloydcramer61 Posted October 21, 2011 Members Share Posted October 21, 2011 Guess that goes with the territory in Nash. Lots of great pickers working for peanuts if at all. Think I better stick to the podunk backwaters- more work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
