You got to love when you are done wrong, hurt, lied about, relied upon, miss understood, and so forth. The song 'Every body hurts' is so real to us all. A great classic song I love a lot. OK, so every body hurts-sometimes. Are you in the sometimes?. Times of feeling, 'I give up- I am done, that is it', a day later, your back, but that knife is still in your back, WHY? Playing in many bands over the years I have been hurt and burned so many times. Drummer hitting on my wife lol etc. No show- for Opening Nite, many have been there that are or were in bands. When you get older you just say, 'oh well', or, over look a fault, but if you, me, have had an old hurt from a musician, family, friend, anyone... it can hinder our creation and our progress. I did write some songs in a bad time and they were good, but I was not. I learned, we can become dull to pain and thus, we do not feel the many knife's collected in your back. Never become dull, hard hearted, never, it is not good for us. Let me see if Ican help take out one of those knifes. I will use the extracted knife and cook you a gourmet meal with it. See, turn it around, take the knife out at once, do not be a collector. Very common- a Father you have not spoken to in years, a brother, mother. That knife can cripple you, if YOU let it. Or you can do as the song in FROZEN, 'Let it go, let it go'.... Ready? This might hurt a little, turn around, hold on, count to three I pull, ready One, two...pull it out not on three you can not know exactly when it will happen. Make your stand, play that instrument, blast the music, jump, dance and be set free of the knife. You know since I recently got rid of a knife in my back, after extraction, I slept like a baby, it is hard to sleep with a knife in your back. Let it go, let it go... Problem- to many of us, we put off things we want to avoid, a phone call from that person, you say, 'honey I am not home' sorry in the long run that does not help. Rise up, take the thing out of your life and the results will be more Joy and better creativity. So, is that knife still in your back? ,you can put an end to it today. I hope I motivated you -my fellow musicians. Till next time Dan
