I played for my paycheck most of the last ten years. I can definitely relate to the mac-n-cheese and kool-aid comment. Finally got sick of it just the other day, it's just not fun anymore, and I don't think playing should be somthing that brings you down, so I'm done. I put in a call to a friend, and I start managing a restaraunt at the end of the month. Since I won't have to rely on gigging to pay my bills anymore, I can start having fun playing music again. I can play my stuff, with the people I want to play it with, and money won't be an issue, if I make $5 playing for the door, who cares. It's gonna be nice to be musically "free" again, I don't think I've played whatever and wherever I wanted since... well never.
