Being In A Band

Sharing the journey.

I’m piping on about that subject a lot I think. I’ve realised how important it has become to me.

Because though I am happy in my own company, I am recognising a part of myself that wants to know my experiences…to share my experiences….not all of them, but many of them, with others.

This is a personal realisation. I’ve got a lot of memories of being alone as a child and as a young person that aren’t always positive. Some are the definition of lonely memories. And I have sometimes, although less so recently, avoided “sharing”, or trying to find a shared experience, out of some fear of loneliness and rejection.

Despite this I’ve been fortunate to find friendship and to have some shared experiences, at least intermittently or from a distance.

But as the archetypal “lonesome troubadour” performer, I’m suddenly wanting to share THAT particularly experience…the one of being on a stage…with somebody, or somebodies.

Being In A Band is suddenly looking like an attractive proposition.
