For me music comes down to love of music AND discipline....When I was younger had a little bit more of both. As a younger Singer/Songwriter I also had more drive to prove myself. Pretty well established and I'm as good as I'll ever get at age 54....

I am also a manager at Credit Law Solution in greater Los Angeles, a credit repair company and have a full staff that needs my attention all week long...Time & energy is at a premium as I also work out. (I get up at 4:30 am for my workout). When I get home I am exhausted.

I play out once a week and pack up my PA4X and Acoustic Guitar from my home studio set-up...

If I don't set gear up immediately when I return from playing the odds of me unpacking are slim....As the week progresses I tell myself my gear is ready to go for Sunday, so it's too late to unpack....

Thinking of picking up a cheaper Arranger to leave set up at home....
