A second thought;

Gary, You seem to always do the right thing, good thinking. The places you are leaving are showing their appreciation, they enjoyed you and your music -- not luck but talent. And you are not leaving the music scene just cutting back, another piece of good thinking. (Wisdom)

What comes to mind is what a good friend once said, “Quit them before they quit you”.

Two great wisdom’s; Know when to stop playing out and know when to stop driving.

John C.
