The autobiography of a struggling musician, working over 30 years gigging on the road. Life has its price, and one way or another; we will all have to pay for it. On invitation, I went to see a famous clairvoyant called, 'Madame Faye'. Her prediction of the assassination of president J.F. Kennedy brought her worldwide recognition. I was a total sceptic and we had never met before. In retrospect, everything she told me about my past was true, and what is stunning beyond belief, is the fact that all the major events in this book, were predicted in detail by 'Madame Faye' to me, at her house in the summer of 1966. The last thing she said to me was, 'you will be successful with your music, but only after a long hazardous journey, and you'll have to sacrifice everything for it. For most musicians, it's usually a case of playing for fun. Some play professionally, and others make the 'Big time'. I take the view, that a real musician is rarer still. He doesn't play to survive - HE SURVIVES TO PLAY. My only credentials for having this point of view are some thirty years playing on the pub and club scene and still gigging strong.
Review: SURVIVING TO PLAY
Outside Looking In ends with the words "Remember, Keep on rocking, it's the only way to survive, especially-if you're-OUTSIDE LOOKING IN." Mitchell's first venture into the world of music was at the tender age of eleven when he picked up the guitar and four years later he gave his first performance. His pub and club scene began in the 1970s in London, England when he played with Muddy Waters and his own band, Special Brew. In the 1980s and 90s he traveled with his band, Drive Rocking Boogie Power Trio.
Chronicling his thirty-year journey in the music business Mitchell reminds his readers that life as a musician is not a piece of cakeâ¦There were times when things really turned sour that sacrifices had to be made, even if it meant selling some of his music gear⦠As Mitchell confides, the only consolation was that he knew it was going to a musician who would appreciate it and in this case his Telecaster guitar was purchased by Mike Rutherford from Genesis. However, as he mentions, "It was like cutting one of my arms off."
However, the ultimate hurt and sacrifice is when your own family falls apart. As [Mitchell relates] if anyone wishes to succeed in the music business, he or she must first be dedicated, with total belief in oneself, utterly selfish. Nonetheless, as Mitchell confesses, nothing compares with the pain and upset one goes through when your family disintegrates.
Much of what Mitchell went through is quite recognizable among musicians, it nevertheless will come as a surprise to those unfamiliar with the music industryâ¦all is not as glamorous as it appears and the road to success is often filled with many difficulties.
