yes it does - from my experience you never get anything for free or if it's for free then it has a reason which reveals later. 🙂 Working on it to make it a great concert.

Hello HP ... For me -Chris Rea was not the one, whom I thought of, was independend and shure he was't. "On the road to Hell"...BUT he HAS reach our hearts! I love his popsongs a bit more then his good blues music! So In one point I have another opinion: That it IS at least POSSIBLE, to really reach people deep inside, without playing the songs wich are not the ultimate music one feels inside! Maybe it's a lot more easy as we think it's true, as a musician with high claims. 😉 To go on a lifelong journey and play music you don`t really like - yes this is sad. About the real reason of an illness I'm a little sceptic all the time - so I add something more... Who REALLY knows, C. Rea's Cancer was the result of his dissatisfaction? CAN be - I read, what the truth becomes - are our thoughts and what works out of the subconsciousness, projectet together with our feelings. This is a modern assumption - how creatin works. So yes: at least we should take account of this. About general music... I find it difficult to fulfill the claim: to be "in complete flow and emotional connected" all the time - over a long peroid of time. As much as I would have like it for myself - to play with this deep feelings - to be in the flow, all the time etc. : EXACT that was, at least for me - what made it even harder - sometimes 😉 OK. That is what a virtuoso is made for! 🤩 What I can read and feel about your peronal story here - it's apparent that you are very true to your heart and that you are steering YOUR TRUE journey you really love. So I'm thankful to have found a musician and musicteacher, that is showing deep insights of his personal aspects and also his very touching grandpiano music! Fly on HP! This post is made with help of deepL 😇🤣 in english from a native German to a native Jamaican Swiss musican.

Thanks for your thoughts - in fact to be completly independent means that you don't need to adapt to anybodies wishes or perceptions. How do we know if an artist which we know is truely independent and serves music and not the buisness ? Lets take Chris Rea as an example because I think thats a very good example. I always loved his songs which made him famous - but when he got cancer a few years ago he revealed that he never wanted to play that music which made him famous and it turned out that he is a blues man from his heart - going a way which was not his made him sick and he payed the price for it. When I compare it with my way I went - I got many offers in my career and I said " no " to nearly all of them or if I said yes I mostly regreted it. After a while I found out that I need to be completly honest with myself and go my way and somehow I also got the support I needed and it worked. Well I never got that famous as many people think I am regarding my musical abilities, but at the end of the day. What is art and music all about ? Music for sure is there to tough the heart of people but you can only do that if you yourself as an acting artist are in complete flow and emotional connected and looking back all songs, projects or ideas which worked out were exactly those. And they were effortless. At the end it's a question what is important in life and not in art - because art is life, it's everything together.
