I do enjoy it. The first time I ever played music to an audience was in the late 1960's and should have done more of it. But work and life and children got in the way. I enjoy doing it now though.

The only statement I might query is "i do not sound like anyone else" because you do sound similar to others who play in a similar style. Not a criticism or attempt to start an argument, just to my ears you sing and play in a not unfamiliar style judging by examples on Youtube etc and comparing it with the people I have heard play over the years. You do it well though you are probably folkier than most of what I do. But I have many times listened and sang along with Adieu Sweet Nancy and similar in pubs and gatherings

Thanks for the links and discussion
