And it may not be that sanctioned by the society that we live in. People expect that you'll either be some sort of chart-topping artist that everybody's heard of or have completely relegated it to a hobby, where in fact there is a real middle ground where people out there are selling their CDs and playing shows, kind of like running their own small business, and that's just how it happens to be. So I've started to see that it really is easy, but you have to forget what everybody says about what you should and shouldn't do. Of course, we all wish we had more, but I think my moving to Nashville has really helped me. Not by fans.
Nobody goes to shows here.
I really miss my New York fans. I really miss there being an audience of people who are interested in the arts, but it just doesn't exist here. But it's more support from other people who are doing the same thing, who go through the same kind of problems and have to come up with creative solutions all the time. It just doesn't exist because it's an industry town. They just don't have the type of people, or enough of them, who are interested in hearing something new.
