I'm glad it turned out well. Sadly, I've been to altogether too many of these things in the last two or three years. And most of them young guys (even younger than me!) with their whole lives ahead of them. Played at quite a few, too (most, really). It's a tough gig, I can tell you...
Life is precious. Enjoy it ALL, the good and the bad, because the alternative takes that decision from you. When things seem down, make music your tool to rise back up. It has the power...
