That's it, I'm done.

Follow your passions and dreams, man. Wherever the winds take you, best of luck in what you do man.

No seriously it's awesome you got everything you could've wanted out of the whole rock and roll experience, and that a lot of times it does work out.

Wow. Bravo to you for taking the honest to yourself road. When I met you on tour with ElPus you were a super gracious dude, super funny, and also a monster player on stage. Good times. Be well in all your new chapters in life. I wish you the best of luck in all of them.

No, no, no.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shoot, NUTRIA fork!!
D'oh! How could I not get that.

 

[Blueszilla]

Ya know..... I've always though Bill Withers had the right idea. Do your thing, and then go do some other thing. I have no idea what he's been doing the last few decades, but I'm pretty certain he's doing what he wants to do.

Phalex, you really should see Bill Wither's auto-documentary "Still Bill". It'll give you all the answers and insight you are seeking. It's free-streaming on Netflix...seen it a couple times now.

 

[Phalex]

I'm on it!!

 

[Renaissance]

I guess I need the Amazing Slowdowner or something cause I still don't get!

Nutria fork?

Somebody help a brother out...

Ummm....geez.

"Stick a fork in Woodchuck because he's done".

 

[Renaissance]

Wow, sometimes I cease to amaze myself.

You ain't Ole Blue Eyes, but you did it your way.

While looking over a record deal and 2 tour offers, something occurred to me: I don't want to do this anymore. I've had a GREAT time and made some great friends, famous and not so famous, but I don't want the hassle and grind of touring and putting together bands, rehearsing, or any of that. I'm over it. I'll still record and do a local gig or two, but outside of that, I'm finished. I've got a good job, I enrolled in Hampton University to finish my degree, my youngest goes off to college next year, so I'm going to spend more time enjoying my life and family.

Also, I've got 2 novels that I need to finish, and I'm enjoying writing much more than I am playing rockstar and grinding it out as a muso. I've been doing music since I was 16, and touring and recording since I was 22, and I'm over it now. So over it. I'll be holding on to my 75 reissue and practice amp. Everything else, I'm getting rid of. I started feeling this way about 2 months ago, and now that I've admitted it to myself, I feel MUCH better. I had a good run. A really good run! I'm in a happy place now. For all of you still are still doing it, or beginning to do it, MAKE SURE YOU GET ALL THAT YOU CAN FROM IT, because you will definitely leave something! And if you don't love it, don't force it. Cheers, fellow lowenders.

i'd hang on to the gear for a while....sometimes a little break from it all will remind you why you loved it in the first place

Good advice! Gear is way cheaper to keep than replace.
