the why.....ang lalim nito aya ha......
to add to it lang.....
before coming to the states, i was earning a decent living as a musician. mostly sa nightly gigs and guitar lessons ang income ko. paminsan minsan nakapag togs sa sikat na banda....nakapag record pero d na release ang album...pero oks lang.
my bands were:skin, blue rats,first circle, introvoys and sunburn.
i played gigs for r.santiago,j.gibbs,o.alcasid,r.velasquez....managed to play on bubble gang as a regular guitar player during their joke time skit.
session kung kani-kanino....
maswerte ako kahit d ako super talented na gitarista.
e napunta ako sa tate.........serious adjustment kasi dito mahirap makapasok sa music industry....i gotta get a real job.
ayon, naging caregiver...receptionist sa hotel, repairman ng shock absorber ng kotse, waiter, bartender, salesman/stockroom boy sa hip hop store.....and this was all in the span of 2 yrs lang.
kakahiya, pero kay simple ng ibang trabaho dyan....pero everytime i get into a new job, in the back of my mind i always say " i should be out, playing guitar ".
d pa tapos ang laban.....i'm getting a new job, this time as a music teacher in redondo beach......by next year i plan to audition for bands who play in casinos and hotels in las vegas....
d pa tapos ang laban.....just dont forget the why.
why am i musician? if i had to explain, you will never-ever understand.
I'm also struggling now but I'm sure that the journey is well worth it;-)
