I was driving along a deserted Kentucky highway late at night coming home from a gig. I hadn't played well at the show. It was in a style I wasn't familiar with, and every time I felt like I was hitting a groove, I'd get caught in a tricky section and stumble. My confidence just wasn't where it needed to be from the very beginning, and each mistake reinforced the nuanced emotion I'd feeling from the start: I suck.
