On the farm if I got an idea for a really cool song I wanted to record in the evening, no problem, I'll just say to my wife and kid, "hey loves, I want to record one song, I will be on the studio in the other end of the house for an hour. Poke me if needed".
In the city, if the same thing happens I can't do it because my gear is 3 kilometers away. Heck, even if it was 500 meters away that's still 100 time further away than on the farm.
It just baffles me because everyone talk about how "everything is so nearby" when you live in city and they keep asking me how I could have lived on a farm so far away from everything.
But now I live in the city, All my stuff is way further away. :/
