Lately I’ve been wondering if a change is in order, however. The few times I’ve had the opportunity to play with a band, the vibe has always been a lot more fun. I perform with more energy. The audience seems to react to harmonies and live drums a lot more than they do for a solo act.

I am, however, petrified of a change like this. I am a small business owner, and this move is tantamount to hiring business partners. I need to be able to recruit people who can not only play and sing, but make phone calls and work the PR stuff as well. Then I need to be able to pay these people enough to justify their time. And we all need to eat on a semi-regular basis.

I need people who believe in my music enough to consider it a business venture. Either that or I need to stay the course and work the one-man operation angle until I either get famous or totally burnt out.
