| Having had the opportunity to play all sorts of gigs over the years, the most enjoyable thing I did was to compose and perform original music for theatrical productions.
Sometimes it was just writing a song that someone else sang on stage, but the real fun was doing a score of theme and incidental music that was used throughout the performance. Doing this on the computer, I had a whole symphony at my disposal, interspersed or combined with actual recorded performance. My only audience was the director. When I was done I gave him the disc and that was that.
No hauling equipment, no hecklers, no off the wall requests. Yeah, what I really want to do is jingles for the Weather Channel. Me and 96,000 other guys. |

Location: Utah | My favorite gigs are when I play with my kids, but it usually is only a song or two either in church or at one of Sara's shows.
The ultimate for me would be to be in a full band supporting my girls out front. My son would be in the band, too, and we'd be on tour playing larger venues with lots of screaming teens. |

Daniel Thank you, Daniel,for your kind words! Sometimes I feel like I'm just spinning my wheels. Other times I feel like I'm making small progress. Very small progress.
