<p>by Gary Powell</p>
<p>This was my first one-man show titled after my book by the same name. The book was written in the early 1980&#8217;s as the musings of a young man struggling with learning how to manage a young career burdened with heavy expectations, talent and self-doubt. No doubt this work would have been a blog had they existed in 1982. I never liked having to run the gauntlet of record companies, so I was determined to write a book and publish it without asking any authorities&#8217; permission. &#8220;Maybe I&#8217;m It, Maybe I&#8217;m Not&#8221; is that effort. Fifteen years later, I adapted the work into a solo musical performance at Zachary Scott Theatre Center in Austin, Texas and performed it in the Spring of 1997. </p>
