First of all in your start at this topic you mention competitiveness. I couldn't hold a candle to you or probably anyone that has either done gigs as a living. I admire people like you and Allan ,and I'm sure there are many on this forum that will let some meager string pluckin fellow in there just to jam and have fun.
I have even made it a point when we played as a band to keep it a hobby and not a job.
You sure well remember the times you didn't feel well possibly a cold or headache and you still had to go.
When I lost My brother a few years back---My Nephew (his son) and our Lead guitar player decided to have gig in My Brothers Memory three months after he was gone.
Well we were doing fine , singing and playing all Our songs My brother so much enjoyed.
It came my turn to do a couple and when I stepped up to the mic, I couldn't hear the monitors My nephew was doing harmony singing with me as in the past, I looked at him and he was looking very strange at me as this was not going well my voice broke and I started sweating profusely ,but tried to continue. I could see it in familiar faces in the audience that something terrible was wrong.
I vowed that night to never do that again the guitar has been in that case since then,me contemplating on selling it. The only reason I didn't was the fact My brother gave it to me as a gift awhile back.
It was Allan NE that inspired me to try a little bit with it again as I play along with a few of his recordings I have saved from this forum. (I thank him for the inspiration) but I have flash backs of that worst time of my life that I still won't go onstage again ever.
Man has said in the past 40 years ago I should have went to Nashville I never had the courage to even try a demo recording to send , I didn't want to go and live like Tommy Cash and order hot water at the restaurant to make soup out of the ketchup even with his name he had a tough time.
Like the saying goes, (If ya can't run with the Big Dogs stay on the porch) So back porch pickin it is and anybody is welcome to come over and Jam. I don't and wont compete I just like to have fun.
