I'm in the process of deciding whether or not to put more effort into my musical avocation. That means more practice, more open mikes to work on songs, particularly covers, and actually getting out there and knocking on doors to get actual gigs. I'll start looking for gigs in the fall, with the increase in guitar practice and open mike activity for the rest of this sumer.
I decided it would be okay to do more of that kind of thing if I concern myself more with the process than actual, conventional measures of success. I figure that success, to me, depends too much on the acceptance of me by other people. There can be all kinds of reasons I won't find that kind of success in music, ever. But if I can just get into the process of trying to bring that kind of thing about, and not concern myself with actual, conventional measures of success, I might be okay with that.
