I loved every minute of my ""Career"". The 15 years of honky tonks and rodeos and state fares....playing the same songs night after night, and drowning my regrets and frustrations in the booze and such.....Had some up and downs, but the music kept me going.....Spent ten years in one town owning a restaurant, raising a family and playing music in the local "joints"...Five years of street music all across the country... and now in the twilight of my years....I play in the coffee houses, the churches, an occasional bar,....PalTalk.. And at 66 I still love it, can't live without it and after all those years, I'm still learning and loving what I'm learning...Made my very first CD at 65 and feel like a beginner....Wow.....Music is my life, and at infrequent times my livelihood.. Frank of Toledo I wake up and the fist thing I do is make coffe and play a song to get myself centered. And it's all uphill from there/
