more Davey G History stuff

I wrote like an insane person yesterday, in part due to my new cat,
who gave me a reason to stay inside and keep her company. So here is a bit that talks about my dry spell in Davey G. The other stuff I wrote fleshes out my early days as I re-write the History of Davey G.

Part 3: 2002-2005--the drought
It was an expected part of the cycle. After the good 2 years of my rise, it was pretty much obvious that I couldn’t keep it going. I think I just got sick of doing what I was doing, or I ran out of ideas, or I lost some confidence. Whatever, I just decided to retire. I had sputterings of appearances, an open mic here and there. But nothing serious, no new material, nothing that really charged me.
I can’t say it was a bad time: I did so much in other areas of my life, traveled, finished college, wrote. But Davey G and the Keyboard was not a part of my life, and as I’ve come to realize, my performances may disappear, but the desire for them never does. It is what I do, it is who I am. I treat every show seriously, I put all that I am into every single performance. I don’t care if 5 people show up and hate me, I am still giving all that I’ve got. Because like it or not, for better or worse, I am a performer, and that can’t be snuffed out, not even by my own occasionally apathetic self.

I felt downright religious writing that. I hope it’s not too much.
