Praise{I still like that best}, Your question is timely to say the least. The music I love{and it's a weird mix} has always been close to my heart. I've been "sidetracked" by making a living etc, but in truth I've lacked determination and I've spent far too much time killing my desires with assorted beverages. I have not played in public in ten years, and it was another ten before that. I find that if I spend anytime playing, the rewards are great. Thirty five years of storing ideas and tunes and all they need now is polish and they will shine. What would, could, MUST I do now is quit smoking and get a mic so I can join in at paltalk, hit a couple of local open mics to get my feet wet again, and then play. I'm fifty one years old now, and as I watch my father fade, I see myself in that position. I must move now, as time is fleet indeed.. Love and God Bless..Mike Bennett
