Some of it was small and practical: I left all my CDs and vinyl on a stage in Blönduós and had to drive four hours round trip to get them back. Some of it was bigger – how much a group runs on trust, why the hours you spend not playing matter as much as the ones you do, and why I don't want to stop taking small creative risks, like the night I muffled my ride cymbal with a scrap of cloth and it changed the whole band. If you've been putting something off because it felt overdue, this one's for you.</p><p><br></p><p>🎧Check out my music: https://scottmclemore.bandcamp.com/</p><p>🤟Join the Patreon community: https://patreon.com/scottmclemore</p><p>📭 The free newsletter goes deeper into ideas like these: https://ktfpod.com </p>","author_name":"Scott McLemore"}
