Always On (Even In Your Downtime)

An EntreMusician is Always On 

Although Acutely Aware of Proper Life/Work Balance and Extremely Protective of his Privacy and her Moments of Solace, a True EM is Spiritually & Creatively Constant. 

Ideas Permeate the Psyche 24/7. You Unfailingly Keep a Small Leather Pad on Your Person, or a Voice Recorder at the Ready to Capture that Next Notion of Genius, be it at the Grocery Store, in the Middle of a Traffic Jam, the Big Game, the Beach or your Cantankerous Cousin Larry's Boring Barbecue. 

It May Not Be a Song, Poem or Screenplay. Often it's a reminder to call that Booking Agent you met last week, or change a rehearsal date, or schedule an audition for that part you saw on Friday's Flyer. It Seems Endless, but I've Never Met an EntreMusician who Could Successfully Shut It Down. The Switch is Broken and We Like It This Way! 

I Remember Distinctly pushing my 2 Year Old Daughter (now 16) on the swings at Boardman Park and the squeaky chain created a odd 7/8 rhythm which produced "Hermeneutics," one of SounDoctrine's Funkiest Spit Fire Tracks. I kinda regret not taking My Little One Off the Swings until I had the horns figured out. She was More Than Ready for Ice Cream Time and was Letting Dad Have It!! 

 In Reality, Our Roles in Life are Always On. Whether I'm Sleep, On Vacation, In The Shower or Away from My Phone, I'm Always a Christ Follower, Husband, Father, Brother, Uncle, Nephew, Cousin, Pastor, Writer, Producer, Wannabe Actor and EntreMusician who keeps Setting Audacious Objectives and Aspiring to Reach As Many As I Can Before I Check Out Of Here - And Hopefully You Are Too!

I Was Listening to the 1979 Funk-Jazz Band "Pressure" Produced by Ronnie Laws on Vinyl while composing this blog.
