What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to?
Introduction- many people are in a position of taking a big risk, but have not done it yet, for a number of reasons. They need to get prepared to do the risk, or they do not have the time to take the big risk. Whatever the reason here is the biggest risk I would like to take, but have not been able to do yet.
I would like to play some gigs at bars and clubs singing and playing the shaker. I have done a little gigging in Tucson, but it was before COVID-19 hit. I would start out slowly just going to open mics, and see if there is any interest in getting a band going, then we can start gigging around Tucson. Open mics are at bars that have a special night where musicians have a chance to perform in front of a crowd, usually for about fifteen minutes and then the next performer comes up. There is usually no money for the performance and if you are good, the bar can ask you to come back and gig there, but that has not happened to me.
In conclusion- people are in a position to take a big risk, but have not done it yet, for a number of reasons. They have to do preparation for the big risk or they don’t have enough time to do the big risk. Whatever the reason, my big risk is to get a band together and start gigging. Thank you for reading.
