Live your life now

My wife and I go Zydeco dancing. More fun than a barrel of monkeys. 2019

“Gather ye rose-buds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying.” ― Robert Herrick

Another truism reaffirmed in New Orleans last week. Live your life now. You may be dead, sick, or disabled tomorrow. 

As aging musicians with slowly deteriorating bodies, there is no time to lose to make the most of it. If there is someone you want to play with in your circle, call them. If there is a style of music you want to explore, start. If there is someone you want to study with, contact them. If there are unrecorded tracks in your head, track them. 







As always a few good habits will add life to your years. 

1. stay sober
2. eat well
3. sleep soundly
4. exercise regularly 
5. hang with your friends
6. go dancing with your wife/husband
7. practice daily
8. jam weekly
9. stay out of debt
10. avoid stupid moves

best regards,
