   "Amazing"? I don't think that's the most accurate term for it ;)

   I'm always an idealist, and endeavor to follow my dream(s), and I'm also not   
   a 'job' person, because I much prefer a *career* instead!   
   Flipping a burger, washing a car, cleaning a toilet, mopping a floor, now   
   those are examples of a 'job', but Music! Playing a gig, preferably a   
   Concert, that's an Event! That's making history! Much more than a mere   
   'job'...it's Far Too Profound for such a trivialization!!!   
      
   My plan if I can call it that, is to go back to being a solo only.

   Chapter 3, verse 3 of the Old Testament book of Amos rhetorically (at least   
   to me anyway) asks:   
      
   "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?"   
      
   Accordingly, since it's such a challenge just finding *one* other agreeable   
   person, just imagine what it'll be like finding three others!   
      
   Still it has been done and it can be done, and it's worth it when, or is   
   that if ;) it is!
