Only time I'm happy is when I'm playing - I need help smile

Everyone gets burned out. At least I did, but when I returned to stage after 2 years off, I scaled down to 250 from 600 gigs a year. And 2 years, back in the chemical industry was enough to retire from that!

Music was the thing that brought me out of a terribly abusive childhood. I could support my brothers. It paid for school. Today, it's an integral part of every communications project I complete. It is my relaxation.

And Dave and Chas may not like it, but, before I quit drinking in 1988, feeling good and getting noticed by the ladies wasn't all that bad.

Hi Mark,
For me it’s just a hobby, but a very enjoyable one. Gotten me thru some tough times ie able to focus on something pleasant instead of bad.
Purely for my own listening pleasure.

Sure glad I drink,


I don't know, Gary.....you wrote about exactly the way it is, and then you do a 180.....are you also a politician....they're good at that!

Anyway, understandably, if you were popular with the ladies, the way I see it is you have the formula...the class of a Caesar Romero, the charm of a Cary Grant, and....the looks of a Paul Newman, and......probably the stage presence of a Liberace.

I should have been a politician myself!
