You have the hardest job of anyone on the planet. you have to have more patience than it takes to teach “Stairway to Heaven” in a guitar lesson. you have to be stronger than being able to put a guitar and amp into the back of a car. You have to be smarter than just being able to mapquest directions to the next gig. You also have to be more intuitive than knowing how your crowd is going to act that night. You must be willing to sacrifice a lot more than just 20% of your merch money to the venue. You care way more for your children than just caring about pleasing fans. You are more protective than just getting your drummer out of a bar fight. You have to be self-less. You ARE self-less. You are a rare breed and without you, there would be no show tonight. I love you Mama. BW
