If you’re up on stage and you’re not sure what to do, slow down, open your eyes look at the people.
If, when you don’t know what to do, you do something that is sure to connect, then you take moments of not knowing what to do and turn them into some of the best most memorable moments.
Connection never gets old. Looking someone in the eyes and experiencing that strange, vulnerable, awkward, intimate, beautiful, fundamentally human connection never gets old.
The eyes are the window to the soul. (So take off your sunglasses)
When you don’t know what to do on stage the bottle of water doesn’t need you, the guitar player doesn’t need you, the backdrop of the stage doesn’t need you.
Slow down, breathe, open your eyes look at the audience and connect. Just hold it, no need to rush.
