Musician's Travelling Life

Musician's Travelling Life.jpg

When the tour starts and you have free days before a concert in the evenings... well, a musician's life can be an exercise in time-killing ad preparation for incoming projects.

When I was younger, I would see some sights and perhaps go out doing things in new cities with friends in the ensemble... but as I get older, I relish the free time without any distractions... and I'm not that much of a social creature anyway, I get a bit bewildered and uncomfortable around lots of people and rapidly start to lose interest... it can come off badly, but when there are lots of people talking and trying to be on ball and the centre of attention... well, I often prefer some quiet time!

Anyway, these days, I really take the time to either treat myself to some alone time with TV or games... and most of the time, I am learning things for projects coming down the line... and in this particular case, for projects that are really rapidly closing in! Lots of solo pieces to learn, and then the leading part for our ensemble... which means that I need to have a good handle on the individual part, but also on the ensemble vision.

Yep... saving up that per-diem money to make sure that I can buy nice things with it... so that means supermarket food that will be much cheaper than eating out.... with the down side that I end up eating the same thing for several days!

... I also end up drinking a bit more than normal... Although it is nice to have the quiet alone time and to catch up on my TV shows and gaming... it does get a bit lonely without my wife and kids... I think that I would make for a very terrible bachelor... but for two weeks, it isn't so bad... but I do get a touch sad!

Hi @bengy! This is @ninaeatshere. Few days away from the family is always enough to miss them hahaha I see it as a way to realize the importance of what we have. It is very noticeable when we are away.

Well, of course it's worth it to have some time in peace, alone and not having too much to think about. However, taking advantage one or another day to explore is also wonderful, I'll invite you to talk about it in case you change your mind for the next trip hahaha.

I understand perfectly what you say about loneliness. I don't know if it happens to all musicians, but sometimes it's better to be in private parties with few people than in a nightclub.

In short, eat well and have a few beers 🔥🔥.

PS, I love your banner my friend, I envy you. I'll try to make a similar one 😂.
