I'm so sick of playing solo - I need to play solo to be solid, but need to play with people to learn to adapt on the fly. Alternating is best. I need somebody who plays deep south Mississippi grooves, and who will want to play w/ a white girl, sigh.
I was a natural blond with naturally big tits, so I pretty much could get in anywhere - and backstage - but not allowed to touch anything (any equipment) (any musical or electronic equipment). Finally overcame that resistance but people were still talking to my chest. This definitely contributed to my shyness when no one makes eye contact most of my life. Then I had them cut off.
Yep.
Whew, I can now heave a big sigh of relief - without popping buttons.
However, my groove went bye-bye. I lost my metronome(s).
I quit playing. Finally lived in LA where girls can be engineers (or maybe with a flatter chest I gained sufficiently apparent IQ points to be allowed to touch the (electrical) equipment. Seriously, this was the bane of my life in college when they wouldn't let me enroll in the EE Dept. So I had real video and satellite engineering jobs, paycheck, insurance, etc.
So when playing the piano, I still rush when nervous - and like running downhill, the speed makes me stumble. Crash.
And my fingers are still stiff from the very long vacation I've had, but I'm improving.
