[Dixielandjazz]"connecting"-How to use that creative high?

[Burt Wilson]

Good question Nancy. My Silver Dollar Jazz Band is playing at Sloughhouse
Inn tomorrow from 11 to 3 and afterwards, the band and I will share a picnic
lunch. During this time we sit around and schmooze about the old days--can
you believe that Renard and I once played with Kid Ory!!-- and all the good
times we've had playing music. Sharing stories, sharing life with the band
members is a great way to come down after a gig.

"...The audience energy feeds back to the musicians, who then play things
that were previously thought impossible. The instruments seem to play
themselves, directly from mind to sound. It must be, I think, close to an
"out of body" experience..."

What HE said!  :-)


Steve added:
"... it takes 4 or 5  hours to come down after a gig like that..."

Very common.
SO:
***Let's hear from list mates who've found a way to MAKE THE MOST of this
creative, high-energy state. (Sorry, nothing x-rated allowed on this list.
