i was browsing thru some of the forums in the uk and recently i have had friends who have a band go thru a bad spill and trying to get it together by replacing and as always looking, been some times that i said forget this and im never playing again, boy was i wrong. I believe once you step into the world of music, there is no turning back.ja

You're not wrong mate!

hey robert, your playing is fantastic, i like that song mood, very cool, i like classical , if come to texas, give us a hollar, like to see your show, thanks

Yeah you will never stop playing music! ever!! Been in situations where music always wins out!

I quit playing guitar for 3 and a half years.....I thought to myself , " I'm just another idiot with a guitar.....3 years later I realized ...." I'm just another fool with out a guitar" .......I guess once music is in your blood there is no turning back !!!!

It's like syphlis - try as you might, you won't shake it off.

I quit for 10 years; I got sick of the same ol - same old . . ..
When I picked it up again, I didn't know it, but I had 10 years of song ideas backed up in my subconsciousness . . . and now I can't keep up with all the new stuff that's flowing out . . .
I looooove music . . . .
And now I regret that 10 years absence; I could have been 10 years more experienced . . . .

I did my last gig New years Eve 1998/1999 and decided to take a year off (the only bit I still enjoyed was being on stage - which as you know is only 5% of the job when your trying to make a living at it)

That year off turned into 9 years - I found to my surprise I didn't miss it at all - and I've probably played less than 9 hours in all that time.

Last week I unpacked the gear again (I'm starting a new life in all sorts of ways) day one: rusty as f@ck, days two to four: blistered up but perservering, days five to seven: hey, I can still play! - it's all still there!. Doing a couple of hours a day now and loving it.

Do I regret the time off? No - I wouldn't have managed to concentrate on setting up a businees, clearing the debts and getting comfortable enough to play without wondering whether playing could pay the bills.

This is a great site BTW. Nice to read about what you're all doing.

till the day we die, we enjoy life, live it to its fullest, cause you never know, we are MUSICIANS! simplest word

I just want to say thanks to Trojan and their newest release "the body condom".lol

father forgive me for I have sinned

it's been 18 years since I last played a gig. and now I'm getting the itch again. should I say "hail mary" or should I worship the devil & get back to the beat?

I play my rock to the glory of God. You can do as you please. Just do it man. You know you want it.

to sell your soul for rock n roll would be in how you present yourself to your fans, after the show and to your closests friends and family, if you actually sold your soul to the devil, wouldnt really be happy or in a good mood after a while,knowing that there is really a hell if you confronted such a entity and its for real and all for fame and glory, no thanks.
