I don't care to be noticed. I do not consider myself a professional musician and definitely not a good one. I just perform for the experience (it's fun) and mostly because someone asks me too.
The stage name thing came about because some of friends said I should have one, so I have been going by just R.L.
I have made a few bucks writing songs. Though I do perform other artist's songs, I mostly do my own. But a professional, I am not!
