the games

Couple games I like to play with an eight year old.

1/ how long can you go without complaining?

2/ how long can you go without thinking?

I try to play them when performing, or when doing the work of performing. Was listening to an interview with Maylee Todd and she seemed to realize the same thing about the life of a performer. Maylee’s contribution to my last record was sort of like discovering the wheel. A powerful force that woman. The first time I played the not complaining game with my eight year old she lost in three seconds. She said how long do we have to do it? Can’t we make it shorter? The not thinking game is just as amusing, she stops after a couple seconds and curses the air. Does that over and over.
