Jerry...you could write a book..I've already written mine...and parts of it are positively SCARY!

In a heartbeat, I'd eliminate the close to twenty years I spent doing Hotels, bars, Conventions, lounges and Supermarket openings. I made it work because of technical skills, but emotionally I was so out of my depth it was rediculous. Got to be hostile, sarcastic and very 'anti-mainstream'.(all with a big smile)

Wish I'd started teaching music when I was twenty, and only played for folks who KNEW and LIKED folk music. Oh well, the last 15 years have been great, so better late than never.

Cheers

Rick
