Yeah I have to admit I was unaware of him as my generation of FM is the Lindsey/ Stevie time period. I knew they existed before them, but just wasn't a fan of the music or didn't understand it at that time. Sadly sometimes talent doesn't get recognized by the general masses until a person passes away.

Anyway, Dave I understand your fustrations and what your going through. Like Bill says though we all have to make a living. I know you'll keep at it though and so won't I. Always remember, music is not our careers. At this stage it's a hobby. There is no pressure on us to perform in front of people or have a song submitted to a producer by a certain time. That's the good thing about it. This is all just fun, so remember to keep it as such and you'll be fine.
