I've been a musician for the past 15 years. I used to gig out a lot, and have quite a few recording sessions under my belt. For the past 6, I have only done very small things. As in playing bass and guitar in my bedroom. I worked for a huge single-location mail-order music retailer (not telling), and that pretty much sucked my willingness to ever play music, since it was no longer about the love. I've since moved on, but the bad taste is still in my mouth, and it's tough for me to want to set time aside these days.
Did you ever go through times like this in your career? How did you get over it? What would you say to someone who wants to love music, but is finding it hard to put in the work again?
