Description
I didn't get into this to copy other artists, though like every other musician I studied them, learned how it's done and then wrote my own.
But comes a time when you've got to decide, it's (A) either quit and get a real job, resign to the reality that you don't have what it takes and or (B) you're just going to be local entertainer and do covers. Or it's (C) damn the torpedoes, you're going down with the ship.
No disrespect to those whom are in (A) category, it don't come easy. Or (B) there's no shame in that, make a little scratch, there are some excellent players around, hats off to all those doing that grind, it's just not for me.
As for (C) no doubt, fact is very few have the mojo to put together and keep afloat an original outfit. But if you're like me and not ready to hang it up, don't give a crap about being a local entertainer and because you've been under water for a long time now, it just doesn't matter.
I'm a singer, songwriter rhythm guitarist looking do something original. I've got no guarantee, I don't have all the answers, but I do have some material and desire. For the most part I do simple rock-n-roll, i.e. Beatles/Stones/FF/
Cheryl Crow/Doors/Cult/Zeppelin/Weiland/Bowie/Muse/Cranberries/Dylan/Rival Sons/CCR
Mature musicians without problems & hang ups, around 50 in age give/take. Odds are you're not going to get rich and live an extravagant lifestyle, but that's not the point. The point is for me is producing some good music, travel, playing shows, and make some money to do it again.
What do you expect?
I'm also pro vaccine, I'd like to live another day to keep trying. It too, is going to be the norm for entertainment industry for the foreseeable future.
