First off .. it's "You're" (just sayin')

Secondly, Throughout my career, I've been a frontman, hornman, bassist, drummer, guitarist, keyboardist, percussionist, conductor, soundman, and producer of the variety of shows I've done, so why is it such a stretch to think that I'd settle for just using one tool? I've enjoyed each role at the time I was performing in that function. Playing bass in the 70s, and 80s was probably my favorite time. Bass is just such a sassy expression of oneself. I love it all, and I think you meant the chameleon comment as a compliment, so, thanks, but I don't think of myself as a changing entity, as much as an adaptable one. I'm not hiding behind technology ... I'm embracing it. Somedays I feel like Batman, with all the cool toys, and other days I'm more like Robin ... just along for the ride. The music and the crowd tell me what to do next. If you listen to your audience ... they're pretty cool that way.

You can be proud of the work you've done on stage, and in your home. If it's time to sit back, and slow down ... enjoy it. You've earned the right to make that choice.
Sowing down is going to have to be forced upon me. I'm just too excited to NOT do this. I feel like a teenager when I'm on stage ... aches, pains, bald head and all.
Now ... off to Florence NJ for happy hour!
