Stallion, this thread really isn't about me or mine!

I know me place and Wendy is just enjoying the ride at the moment (remember, she only started gigging 2 years ago), no frustration here!

Burton, there might not be much call for mediocre banjo players but I have heard that oud playing bluesmen will be the next big thing......


The thread was stimulated by an interchange between Ruth Archer and Crow Sister in the Unaccompanied Trad Groups thread:

"a view that "if so-and-so's kid can suddenly be a folk celebrity, well then I certainly could have been too, if I'd just tried hard enough and had the right breaks."

"As I say, this line of thinking, nine times out of ten, is self-delusion. But it certainly generates its fair share of sour grapes at times."

I just wondered if folks felt this is correct or not.
