The Truth…
Whilst that may be the perception, I
would actually take issue with that statement. I didn’t write it. I’m very good at what I do. The trick
is to design what you do in order to accommodate your limitations.
Thats why I don’t teach. I leave that to the pros. I’m too busy gigging
or making albums anyway. Please stop asking me! The perpetual problem
of being a Z list muso/celebrity is how to describe yourself. The most
onerous task of all is trying to big yourself up and exaggerate past
exploits. I’ve now been ‘on the road’ for 45 years. I’m amazed I’m
still standing. I’ve made hundreds of albums with bands/singers/ musicians and done gigs with them. Some are
world famous, some you’ve never heard of. The dumbest and most pathetic
thing in existence is to see a musicians C. V. that lists the people that they may
just have been with on the same bill on the same day at some festival
as people that they’ve ‘worked with’. Whilst I ache in the places I
used to play (L Cohen!), I’m still up for what is about to happen, not
what has been and gone. Hopefully, myself and my compatriots have more
to contribute yet before we shuffle off.
This is why my catchphrase is…
Phil Beer. Plays guitar and fiddle,
sings a bit. Sums it up.
