Story: Love It All
"One of the things about baseball, even going back as a player, is that I tried to enjoy the crappy part of it too. If you're going to be in this life, I think it helps that you love it all.”–Aaron Boone, manager New York Yankees
I'm a baseball fan and when I read the above quote by Aaron Boone it made me think about some of the things us musicians do to get ready for a gig. Those things are more or less the same whether you're playing for 5 people at the local pub or 5,000 people at an arena: practice, rehearse, load-in, soundcheck, wait, perform, load-out. There may be more or less depending on the size of the gig, but the basic formula is the same.
My point is that no matter how much we like or think we like the performing part, the 'rock star' part of being a musician, if we don't at some level enjoy the practicing, the rehearsing, the late nights, etc, we're not going to realize our dream of becoming a rock star. You may do all the practicing, rehearsing, and preparation and then discover that life on the road's not for you.

The next time you find yourself complaining about the load-in, the load-out, the getting home late, etc, remind yourself how much better it is to load-in, load-out, etc then not. If that reminder sits well with you then you're probably doing the right thing.
Bottom Line: Love late nights and heavy lifting.
