   Naturally, that's going to take  Thinking but sure, if she makes a practice   
   of it.

   Makes plenty of sense, and tends to point out that there are those whose   
   ongoing  segregation practices include how many times you've been "trippin'   
   'round the  sun" ;)

   I'm always inclined to do a song well, which is why I've got to at least   
   like it if not Love it first!   
   Anything less doesn't  interest me at all.

   > just don't fit us.   
      
   That's good. Music is supposed to be fun, not a pain.   
      
   > Let me know how that one turns out for you :-)   
      
   I'm pretty certain that myself and my Soulmate playing with the band will be   
   merely another Boring experience doing the same Crap that we've done with   
   them several times before, unless the two of us, The Difference, comes up   
   with something we can do when the  rest of the band is on break or something   
    )   
   We did that once and the audience Loved it...only this time, we plan to   
   Rehearse it first ;)

   I never even implied I'd play it better, but from what I'd been hearing, I   
   do believe I might  have a better attitude about it insomuch as I enjoy   
   playing keys so much, that what I'm playing doesn't *have* to be rock &   
   roll, it can be country, or even worship songs at church. That and for a   
   while, I was in a country band...I can adjust my interests to accommodate ;)

   > anything else.   
      
   I'm not all that much into Cream, not enough, if  any, keys ;)   
   I'd much prefer doing some Traffic!

   I wasn't allowed to listen to rock & roll when I was a little kid, only   
   country, so I grew up with WJJD.   
      
   > Hey, doesn't that sound a lot like what prostitutes do ?   None of that   
   > emotional entabglement, just do the job, take the money.   
      
   Not for me, because I actually like country, Real country that is ;)   
   And don't think I wouldn't add some piano to the bluegrass stuff too ;)

   Sounds like it's time to write an album!!!   
   Just think of how Awesome it'd be to play a concert where the audience is   
   there to see YOU, becaue they Love Your material and want to hear You   
   perform Your Original tunes, not somebody else's!   
   What a total rush!!!   
      
   > People retire.  Quit doing their lifelong work, decide to sit in a chair,   
   > get fat, then die.  It happens.   
      
   The ONLY thing anyone should  ever retire from is stress, and do what they   
   Love, for as long as they live, and they'll live a long time!

   I never thought that, even when I was a little kid...rather I aspired to,   
   and still do, making a difference and enjoying it while doing so.   
      
   > I'm past that.   
      
   I've got to get there first, then get past it, on to even more Awesome   
   things! Or as this tune on Ignite The Sky puts it:   
      
   3. Serenely   
      
   verse1   
   For such a long time all the going was rough   
   didn't matter that enough was enough   
   miseries the only things within reach   
   like the grains of sand on the beach   
      
   it was a challenge in daring to hope   
   such an ordeal just trying to cope   
   against horrendous and impossible odds   
   and all the domineering little tin gods   
      
   prechorus1   
   finally some of the gloom slowly started to clear   
   a tiny glimmer of hope began to appear   
   perhaps some peace and contentment in knowing   
   that there might yet be a chance to be going   
      
   chorus1   
   serenely peacefully and calmly just gliding along   
   a happy vibe all around like the beautiful sound of a   
   favorite song   
   serenely unpleasant things left so far behind   
   going forward to see a new and bright destiny in a universe   
   realigned   
      
   verse2   
   moving slowly at first but picking up speed   
   with every fiber aspiring to succeed   
   on a takeoff run at the sky   
   and thoroughly committed to fly   
   pursuing our course as we get underway   
   getting closer with each passing day   
   the goal ever clearer in sight   
   to arrive the greatest joy of the flight   
      
   prechorus2   
   on our journey for as far as we will   
   despite all the struggle of going uphill   
   but as we climb to the top we may see   
   that it's more likely we'll be able to be   
      
   chorus2   
   serenely free of the worry and care   
   as we go on our way without fears to allay and no more   
   need to beware   
   serenely able to enjoy a life without so much pain   
   finally out of the storm and all cozy and warm in the   
   sunshine instead of the rain   
      
   bridge   
   living the dream in all of its splendor   
   to do whatever it takes and never surrender   
      
   instrumental   
      
   verse3   
   setting our sights on an infinite place   
   leaving the earth heading out into space   
   no more limits on how far we can go   
   no longer stuck on the ground far below   
   moving ahead going still further out   
   what this adventure is truly about   
   doing that of which we're so very fond   
   to shoot for the stars and beyond   
      
   prechorus3   
   sailing along in our small sturdy ship   
   to experience the ultimate trip   
   and remember when we just used to crawl   
   but now we'll fly and we'll be doing it all   
      
   chorus3   
   serenely peacefully and pleasantly just tripping along   
   Loving vibes all around in the sweetest of sounds of our   
   favorite songs   
   serenely unhappy things finally left far behind   
   as we marvel to see a better way it can be with reality   
   realigned
