This Could Be The Last Time

… Well I told you once and I told you twice
But ya never listen to my advice
You don’t try very hard to please me
With what you know it should be easy

… Well this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don’t know, oh no, oh no – “The Last Time”, song by The Rolling Stones

“You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think.” -Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“While you’re playing each song it’s not a bad idea to think ‘this is the song I came here to play tonight’.

It’ll help put your full weight into it.

You travelled all that way, sacrificed a lot of other things to be on the stage…why not (at least) act like and think like every song is your sole purpose for being there?” -Gabe Andersen

Chances are this won’t be the last time you get to make your art. Or to raise the stakes a bit…be the last day you live your life.

But there’s nothing wrong with proceeding as if it is.

Put your whole shoulder into it.

Give it everything you got.

Leave it all out there.

You’ll be so glad you did.

And if you’re lucky enough to get another crack at it tomorrow?….Well then, you’ll have all the gratitude you can imagine.

P.S. – Thank you to everyone who attended our Vs. “Veteran Artist Night” this evening and to all the Vets for sharing their incredible stories. It was an amazing night. And to all Veterans out there…we can’t say thank you enough for your great service to our country.
