Dream of the hobby musician

It’s not easy trying to combine the strains, stresses and constraints of an ‘ordinary life’ i.e. full time job, family, house and PCs to maintain…with the role of home studio musician and songwriter.

There is some time available, of course, but it is usually at the end of the day when creative and musical facutlies are not at their best. Also, for many parts of the process, an hour or two is not enough. You need a larger chunk of time in which to experiment all options and then pick the best one, without having to put it all away and start again.

So that’s decided, then, I’m giving up the day job! (moving out would be a little bit too drastic).
