I was rereading one of my past threads and the question hit me. When it comes to the people you work with (musically), is it looks ar talent that pulls you in? Or is it just the fun factor?
I'm 33 and have been doing this since I was 15. I have been in bands where it has all been about image (which is suprising given my appearence
). We have had the prettyboy gutair players, singers (male and female) with the perfect face and body. Did I mention all of the hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!We looked great but the size of the egos was tremendous.
Then there have been my "talented" bands. I've played with 2 of Columbus's best guitar players (technically) and one of the best drummers. Then music was taken very seriously (and I mean VERY). They were great guys, but it was too... bleh!
But over the years, all of that has ment less and less.I look at my current band and we are all talented, not to the extreemes that I have played with in the past -but we can all carry a tune. But I have realized that we all have fun together. I doesn't matter that we are playing out or just sitting at a bar some place. The egos aren't there (and either are the looks
) Maybe I am just getting old, but it is nice to have fun with the mucis again and enjoy the poeple you're with.
So what is important to all of you?
