BS: I chose the wrong lifestyle

I started off my musical life playing folk music in clubs in England in the mid-60s. After about 4 years or so, I got into jug band music, then slipped into 1930s dance band music. The slippery slope continued: I started playing mainstream jazz, then 1950s rock'n roll - and then New Orleans funk. I was a high-roller. Sex'n drugs'n rock'n roll was my lifestyle. I could have been a contender. I was amplified. I was hot. I was loud. I was full of funk.

And then I came across Mudcat - and discovered, to my chagrin that the real heroes (the ones who got all the chicks and the fame and the acclaim) were the dyed-in-the-wool folkies like Art Thieme, Kendall, Frank Hamilton. Shit - where did I go wrong?

No fame or acclaim here, but I have not yet given up on the chicks!

Oh I get it.

You need the fame and acclaim FIRST!

You can't have everything; where would you put it?

I'm lying on my back, on the top of a barge, floating down a French Canal, making pictures out of the clouds, whilst watching the autumn trees drift by..in the Indian Summer Sunshine...

Gosh, that's kind of like the chicken version of Seth Lakeman's stomp board...   :0)


Now, I can think of some very funny one-liners there, Will, but I'm a lady, so I'll keep silent. :0)
