You know folks, in retrospect I did that part of it (forming bands) ALL WRONG. When I was looking at folks to play with, I should have STARTED with people with good personalities and the desire to learn, rather than first rate skills as the prime criterion. I've learned the hard way that you can encourage folks to become better players and singers.....but jerks will remain jerks to the end!

Despite having to earn my living at it, I've always played for fun. Period. Having good people around you is the best feeling in the world. I've read all the stories about Crosby Stills Nash and Young warring constantly and I can't imagine ANY amount of money making that fun.

Jim. You're probably right. I like your choice of songs....Oh well, in another life maybe.
