Big (i'm not). Does that mean my music is more in demand?
Famous. To me it just means more and more people know who I am (and my music) and I dont know all of them.
I've been getting a lot more messages from old friends and acquaintances from my past saying
"You're all big and famous now. Dont forget us little people". Or --
"Brian, I remember when you weren't so big and famous. You could at least drop me a line sometimes."This is kinda stressful to me because these old friends and acquaintances aren't understanding that I dont think I'm big nor famous. I'm still the same guy they first met and know today. The only difference is more people know who I am or recognize me (this must be the fame part). I would hope they'd understand that I havent forgotten them. With more and more people knowing me (and me knowing them) expands my old
"small list of friends/contacts" to an encyclopedia sized list of people (and growing)!!! Its one of me, and many of them. There's no way I could possibly keep in touch with every single person - even though I'd like to.
I truly understand this "Big n Famous" thing now. Do I like it? Nah! Am I concerned about it? A little. Big and famous doesnt mean much to me. Popular or unknown - I'm still gonna do music. I'm fortunate and grateful that its recieved the way it is.
Every old friend/acquantance is gonna get a link to this blog. I hope they give me their honest oppinions/comments on this one!
(would love to hear EVERYONES oppinion on this subject)Brian
