About this Quote

Leo Kottke's quote is describing a physical condition he experienced while performing. Tendonitis is a swelling of the tendons, which are the fibrous cords that attach muscles to bones. This condition triggered a kind of paralysis in Kottke, which would embed in after five to 10 minutes into his set. This paralysis prevented him from playing his instrument, likely due to the discomfort and stiffness connected with tendonitis. Kottke's quote is a testament to the physical toll that carrying out can take on a musician's body. It is likewise a pointer of the commitment and perseverance required to be a successful artist, as Kottke was able to conquer this physical limitation and continue to perform.
