THE UPS & DOWNS

Another age old rule my father taught me: You meet the same people on the way up that you meet on the way back down!” Which means, things always have a way of leveling out, so watch what you say and to who. That guy you said sucks so bad might be playing absolutely great 2 years later and be in a position to give you the nod for a great gig. That session that you didn’t give two cents about, it turns out that the producers got a few hit records and works with everybody that did that session except you, and now they pay triple scale. That girl you pointed out to your friend as “so Ugly” might end up being the love of his life! You never know who will be a king tomorrow, so watch who you piss on today!

IN CONCLUSION

Now I know it might sound like I’m preachin’ and I guess I am. What I am really trying do give you young players out there some sound advice. Advice that will help you avoid some pitfalls that may harm your career. Hopefully, when sit down and reflect on your career, you will be thankful that you are working so much! Maybe you will have a nice list of clientele that call you and are glad to see you! Once again, these tips are based on my opinions, which are based on my experiences. I’m not trying to say they hold all answers, but they might just help. Keep playing’ and practicing and by all means, check back next month. All the best, Dré
