Susan,thanks for the invitation,although using your link has left me cookieless.

If I could live my life according to my beliefs, I would be playing music and singing full time.Not necessarily as a professional, though that would be nice. I would want to be in front of people daily, singing those songs that inspire me so that I might create those feelings in others. Be it love, happiness,sadness, the blues,aching for love lost, whatever.

I would be playing and singing with others as their music inspired me to feel their emotions.To learn new songs.To earn new music. To meet new people.

To go on that never-ending Mudcat adventure where I travelled around the world to meet every Mudcat member in the flesh and ply music till the sun came up in every corner of the world.

While I'm a long way from being able to do that, I'm closer musically than I was 10 years ago.Mainly from the point of view that the group I play with regularly is constantly moving forward with the music we do. And that music (praise and worship music at my church) is closer to my belief system than I've been in a long time.
