I am playing in 2 bands (I play guitar and write all the music for both) I haven't learned how to sing and play guitar yet (more likely because before I was always wrestling with mixed voice and all the M1 tension sucked so much focus that direction how was I going to sing and play guitar...singing took every ounce of focus and energy I had, plus it was very physical) but part of my M2 journey is to start developing those skills over the next few months.
So I booked a rehearsal studio by my house and it's $45 an hour for my second band and it was going to be our first practice. It was me and the other guitarist and we were going to dial in his Marshall amp and start working on the songs ( I'd be showing him about 8 songs I wrote already to get the ball rolling) so he emails me this morning and says he has Covid and can't make it. I am thinking "I can't cancel 12 hours before we were supposed to show up" that's just a shit move.
I thought about it for a minute and went fuck it. I am going to go up there with my pa, mic and sing for two hours and work on my vocals through a mic and pa. It'll be kind of weird because it's a recording studio and I think there's maybe 3 or 4 rooms for bands to rehearse. I am going to be alone and working on my M2. And more likely there'll be people hearing me crack and do weird shit...but again like Marc said...part of M2 is losing your ego!!
But I thought this was a relatable scenario of stuff you deal with as a musician. No clue if he's really sick or just was flaking out but I am going to make the best of tonight and enjoy singing for 2 hours through a pa at a really nice recording and rehearsal studio.
