In answer to Bobert:
Despite messing around with a guitar for longer than I care to remember, I don't consider myself to be a performer worth spending good money on to hear when there is so much excellent material out there already. I do play in pub sessions two nights a week and have done for a number of years. I also play the odd club as long as the people booking me know exactly what to expect (usually the three chord trick). I do it for fun and that's it. I don't have an over inflated ego and certainly wouldn't claim to be able to sing blues (which I don't).
With modern advances in technology virtually anybody can make a CD of themselves and sell it, absolutely nothing wrong with that. But please don't describe the product incorrectly. As one of my southside Chicago friends often used to say "some people don't know shit from Shinola". I sing and play folk songs but I don't claim to be a folksinger.

Keep playing and keep having fun, ain't that what it's supposed to be about.
