Sure glad I'm semi retired - now I get to mess with other neat stuff, like my rock gardens.





Chas, I agree, though the money, at least in my case, was a big factor, but first and foremost, I had to satisfy myself. If I were only doing it for the money, and didn't absolutely love the job, I would have found another way to make a living. I've been very fortunate in my life in that I have never had many jobs that I didn't absolutely love doing, including the 15 years I worked in medicine. I can unequivocally state that the absolute best job I've ever had in my life, both for the pure enjoyment and financially, has been the musical entertainment industry. My only regret is that the technology we have today was not there in 1961 when I performed in that first, smoke-filled bar in Baltimore.

All the best,

Gary
