Fame? Don't knock it till you've tried it :)

For me it would have meant that my work was music. There's an element of immortality in there. Even now I know there are a few thousand of my CDs all over the world. People still play them (so I'm told) and I still get emails from "fans". That feels good, to know that my music is out there somewhere in some form, something of me left when I'm gone. It's a primal thing.

In a local band in Worcester (UK) I used to get recognised in the street which I liked. Why is it the bands I played in never had groupies? :(

Anyway, I would have loved to have made some money but didn't.

Basically there's a lot of good guitarists and songwriters out there and you either have be something special or hook into something special. Then you have to have a lot of luck and know the right people. That's really important, knowing the right people.

If you've got the desire then go for it. You've only got one life and when you're lying there on your death bed you really don't want to be having regrets.

And on that cheerful note I bid you goodnight :D

Cheers

Dick
