I simply play what I like the way I like. I played a 20 minute set of vivaldi, back, and a malmsteen song. Some girls were really cheering, so sex appeal is going up.
thanks for the MMO links :-) I'm going to order bach's double concerto in D minor!!!
Well, in many ways we're on the same 'sheet of music'. I used to be a professional musical entertainer. I was doing well until my father died. Suddenly I realized the truth that the more "famous" I became the more I realized that I didn't like being famous. My father died, I lost all desire to be "famous" and I retired young. I live from hand to mouth, but at least I can now play my music for Nature and Nature is a much better audience than humans ever were.
I enjoy the concept of developing my abilities to the point of being better than anything anyone has ever heard and not allowing them to applaud. I deliberately stop the songs I play at parks somewhere in the middle. There is never any clear idea when the song ends so that people never know when to applaud. If they start to applaud I continue the song and they stop. I wait until I KNOW they will not applaud before I stop the song in a manner where they think I am going to continue. I like doing that
I go into very deep trance states when I play music and people applauding can be like an 'alarm clock' that wakes me up. I don't like to be woken up when I am in deep trance states!
Let me tell you that being forced to play music when you don't want to can be a living hell. I was forced too many times when I was a professional entertainer. I especially remember the times when I had to sing even though I had a very sore throat. It felt like my voice was on fire with pain and I had to act as though I was having the time of my life.
((( HORRIBLE!! )))
So, if you love playing music it's best to keep the thing you love as a hobby so that when you play music you can really enjoy it. It's a horrible thing to be forced to play until you slowly hate what you once loved.
Glad you found the MMO site useful!
Thanks to you I will now have fantastic background music to play my guitar with
Thanks again!
