Putting together a thread in response2 your pronounced frustration with fame. I'd like you to read it tomorrow& understand how lucky you are

Famous ppl that bitch about fame r annoying. I started playing music at roughly 5yrs old. As I sat at the piano, I had an intrinsic

comprehension of music theory but more important,a gravitational pull toward note placement&theme building. IOW, ability2 write catchy stuff

Fast forward2 10yrs old& I saw Jimi@ Woodstock on tv& switched fm piano/violin2 guitar, right then. I learned EVERY SINGLE Hendrix song I

could get my hands on, all while developing my own style/ song writing approach. I cont'd2 improve musically+ further improved ability of

writing songs2the point where I felt like they were falling in2 my lap& wondered whether I had much2 do w/their creation. I got married in

my early 20's, fell victim2 drug& alcohol abuse& you've heard the story a thousand times but more importantly, chose a working man's life

where music had2 come 2nd or 3rd in order of importance. I'll b 50 this June& I have SO MANY SONGS of such high quality, that it's a shame
