Still resonates ❤️

“Don’t play what’s there — play what’s NOT there.”
— Miles Davis
“Practice is not a dirty word.”
— Chick Corea
“Let some things go by. Some music is just imagined.”
— Thelonious Monk
“Honor thy error as a hidden intention.”
— Brian Eno
These aren’t just quotes.
They’re battle-tested truths from legends who lived it, broke it, and redefined it.
If music is your path — your real path — then you need to hear the rest.

You’ll never practice (or perform) the same way again.

I’ll say it again❤️

Top 5 Things That’ll End Your Gigging Career Early (Unless You Fix Them)
From musicians who’ve actually limped offstage.
1. Crap Hydration
If your electrolyte plan is whatever’s in the green room, you’re one show away from blowing your voice out. Fix it.
2. Joint Pain You’re “Powering Through”
That clicking sound isn’t part of your tone. It’s your body begging you to take care of it before something gives.
3. Late-Night Junk Food Recovery Strategy
That gas station pizza isn’t fuel. It’s sabotage disguised as comfort food.
4. Trash Sleep
Four hours in a noisy hotel room isn’t recovery. It’s how you start aging out of the game without realizing it.
5. No System, No Ritual, Just Chaos
You prep your gear. You soundcheck. But your health? If you’re winging that, you’re gambling with every show.

-Gig attire for every climate. Some stages feel like a meat locker, others like a volcano. I always pack a thin black short-sleeve button-down if it’s hot, and long-sleeve shirts with a sleek black jacket in case the stage is freezing.

-9V batteries. I use an Ebow, which is notoriously power-hungry. But more often than not, I’m handing out batteries to bandmates. It’s a great way to earn some brownie points. Disregard this if you are the oboe player.

-Supplements. Collagen, curcumin, vitamin D, magnesium, acacia—and of course, electrolytes… my list. What’s yours?

Spares. I have spare cables, spare power supplies, and spare strings. True story: I once showed up to an audition and my power supply died the second I plugged in. Rookie moment. They were cool about it, but I ordered two extras as soon as I got home. If you’re a drummer, pack a spare bass drum pedal. In the words of Jocko Willink: two is one and one is none.

Phone charger with a super long cable. Hotel outlets are never where you need them. Running the cable through my suitcase handle is the only way I don’t leave it behind.

Gym clothes, shoes, and resistance bands. I usually hit the hotel fitness room, but if there’s nothing available, I’ll get in some push-ups, sit-ups, and stretching right in the room.
What’s on your list of Required items?
