I know I do.

I've not felt like this at any one time before. My Dad was the best ever at anything musical and puts me to shame frankly.

Anywho.

I believe, do you?

Summink you ain't got? :D

I came to the conclusion........... Well let it go on from here. Dad would say I'm doing things wrong but then theory gets in the way sometimes.

Fluid, movements, interesting. A vocal vivid.
I just need a Mic

Smokin on beer from NJ.
Seriously though, I really do believe in what I am trying to create.

Oh yeah, baby. I do believe. Actually, I believe more now than I ever have. I am becoming the musician I dreamed about when I was in high school.

Hmmm
I don't know what to make of it when someone posts or says something like this. (To be honest), Soz.

So far as I know someone by that name has no hand in what I'm writing and even if they did I wouldn't bandy it around like some forgotten totem poll or some dusty preachers vestibule where often as not chorus boys are sheltered from evil by molestation.

There are many good things in this world. Some of them go by the wrong name.

morning!

Good morning Chipster.

Pretty simple actually.

One, I am not a "good Christian" I am a sinner always have been, always will be. Saved by grace alone not by my deeds.

My mission: The great commission given by Jesus the night before his crucifiction. Go and teach all the nations of the earth.

Besides, was intended as a joke. Ever seen the Blues Brothers? :lol:

Erm :roll: I'd forgotten that. (Blues Brothers).

Does being Christian mean you cant have a sense of humor?

Think about it unconditional love, forgiveness and all that, and yet he will let you go to hell. Its kinda a catch 22. Gods definitely got a sense of humor when it comes to our lives and situations.

I saw a t-shirt the other day it said:

Gods Watching

Lets Entertain Him

Ya know, I wasn't gonna respond to this thread, cuz it kinda hits me hard right now.

There was a time that my belief in my material & my abilities carried me through all the trials & tribulations of life...then I guess I either got old, or reality hit me right between the eyes.

I don't have that confidence anymore, for whatever reason.

The loss of feeling in my left hand is a huge part of it, I'm sure, but I find myself not playing or writing anymore unless I'm working with others. I just don't have that drive to go it alone anymore like I used to.

Just 10 years ago, I would sit & worry through a song from sunset 'til dawn & go to work like it was nothing..Nowadays I'm almost afraid to pick up the ol' axe to see how bad it's getting, cuz I fear I'm still losing it...& I am losing it more, cuz I don't play as much...like I'm stuck in a viscious circle of musical doomness or something...

Sorry...I should remember to keep some things to myself...

If anyone else was talking like this I'd tell 'em to get offa their ass & GET BUSY OR QUIT...but I'm just stuck on a fence post for some reason, scared to move one way or another, & I'm losing whateve self respect I once had, because of it...

I'll prolly pick things back up if & when the band starts up again, but even that's getting harder to believe as time goes by without practice...& it ain't much fun being me right now, except in the grand-daddy dept...I suppose I should start taking some of my own advice, huh?

I'm there too, Philby. I play better now than I ever have, yet I just don't have the drive that the younger me had. I still have the dream, but can't seem to get off my a$$ and get back into it.

Philby,

Maybe being a grand daddy is exactly where you should be right now.

It seems like in my life as I live day to day I dont understand, but if I look back at things that have happened to me it makes sense, there was a reason I went thru something or the other. It was preparing me for something else.

Ive had some extreme musical highs and lows thru the years, everything from being courted by a major label to not playing at all. So hang in there, cause you know at heart you are always a musician, whether you are playing or not.

As far as confidence in my abilitys or myself, I dont think that Ive ever questioned that. Most of the things Ive set out to do in life I have done. The question was always how much was I willing to sacrifice in order to get there. I believe if you concieve it, believe it then you can achieve it.

Hey Phil, hang in there. If it was easy everyone would be successful. I think you know you have real friends here, even if you haven't met them. The tough times make the good times that much sweeter.
