   I thought you're mostly into country. But of course, if you're also a rock   
   and roller, you might do that - at least it means writing some new songs!

   Summer isn't even here yet and when it finally arrives, it'll be gone in a   
   few months, BUMMER! But making a difference in Music lasts practically   
   forever!

   Not quite, it's better to do some analyzing to find out WHAT isn't   
   'clicking', and WHY, Then do some engineering and FIX the problem, and keep   
   going!

   Lonely, the performing part, and Boring, the  mowing part! Play and sing,   
   all *alone* again naturally!

   They'll have a worse time of it than you if they also don't bother to FIX   
   the  problem!   
   And  since you've got many more years of experience, you're the natural   
   choice to FIX it!
