Getting along with your boss, co-workers, well wishers, enemies - it's all the same. Your stories can be applied to many work environments. Maybe in between sets you can be a motivational speaker too. Well done! Patrick Vega Dave,

I am always inspired to here from other drummers who at a young age had the vision to look down the road and see themselves on stage doing what they love to do, with the drive and a hard work ethic to get them their. GREAT STUFF! I would like to ask you some questions about my personal experiences and knowledge to find out if there is any hope for a guy at my age to make a carrier playing drums peace, Great article Dave.

Really good down-to earth..and intelligent writing. I'm a bass player, about to do (ANOTHER) cruise gig....your comments are spot on about that bizarre line of work....which, as you pointed out is far from perfect (way too many SAX GUY IDIOTS (of all instruments) losing their perspective about how easy this job is compared with...laying concrete or something. yes, trying to fire a collegue over a HARMONIC dispute! Unreal. Anyway, good to see someone who IS keeping it real. More! Don, NYC. Nice writing Dave…More!! Really good down-to earth..and intelligent writing.
