You get to play your favourite bass. You meet great people. You record with great musicians. You lose your wallet. In Detroit. You say „no vibrato“ at least 1000 times.

You get to found your own record label. You make peace with people holding a grudge. You bet on your jersey number twice in a row and win. Both times, You get your wallet back. You get to travel. You lose friends.You make new friends. You get to spend money. You get a new tax accountant. And a new audio interface. You get to pick your jersey number. You make the team. You get people say thank you for the challenge. You get to spend the best New Year’s Eve ever. You get to ride the train and drive your car (a lot). You overcome your writer’s block. You get to make other people’s songs beautiful. You score. You realize somebody doesn’t own a CD player. And you listen to the fucking song.
