Things I Am Not Allowed #3: Concert Tour

Revisiting this series of The Artist's Way tasks, of doodling things I'm not allowed, the third I listed was, "Give a sell-out concert tour." Out popped this:


So, yeah. I agree. "Whatever, bozo," was my first reaction, as well. I considered it longer and found that to give a concert series to the caliber that I would love to do, I currently only have a very skeletal framework. I have a library of songs I have written (though tucked away, for whatever reason) and a few images in my head (though nothing matured).

There are plenty gaps to fill in, if this is to be accomplished. And of course, the biggest obstacle in doing any of this has been myself, since I've only taken passive steps toward it.

As is, it's only a pleasant, fun dream smiling back at me (if you'll notice, the entire picture is a smiling face -- an animation that fits the rest of my doodling and is supportive of my nature, or my animated Type 1 Energy Profile). Perhaps, it will only ever be a fun dream. I will never know if I never make moves toward it, as I suspect is a message this doodle and task are trying to portray to me.


For music, funny enough, the song that came to mind was one I've written, "Soar (No Boundaries)" -- my favorite I've written, in fact. However, since there is no recording for that, the next one I felt was "Another Small Adventure" by Chantal Kreviazuk, the song which helped inspire my song (and several other songs I've written --  as a fun sidenote, whenever asked what song would describe me, I've often answered "Another Small Adventure"). It portrays the high-energy fun, inspiration, and hope I would hope to capture and share in my own musical performances, and as are evident in several of the songs I write. Perhaps, its message is the attitude I ought to adopt in organizing and promoting myself as a musician. Overall, the song encompasses the exhilarating freedom I love to feel in music.
