Playing in the big leagues conjures up different images to different people. For some it’s seeking fame and fortune, while for others it simply means a chance to compete.
I admit, when I used to live in L.A. my definition was much closer to the prior rather than the latter. After eight years and much seasoning, my perception changed. I saw people, who some would consider famous, struggle to get the next gig. It didn’t seem to matter how good they were or how many CD’s/movies they were in. Everything balanced on the next project. Watching them made me realize fame is an illusion perched on an extremely slippery slope. I want no part of it now.
What I strive for is success, and the chance to compete…in the big leagues.
