"Livin' right" is playing with a not-so-smokin' brass quintet at a "junk" ceremonial gig this morning at a VFW post in the middle of nowwhere that smells like smoke and stale beer, having little actual performance time because all the veterans want to shake your hand and tell you a story. "Livin' right" is playing all the also-ran marches at this gig that you've played a million times but move your audience as if it were the Faure Requiem. "Livin' right" is getting to the end of a special performance like this and not thinking once about the instrument in your lap or how much you paid for it. Or for that matter, how much you actually got paid for the "gig".

It's all in the priorities.

Thanks, Veterans!
