Man I played bass for a living for years. Club acts, overseas tours, grinding it out in bars 4 nites a week, a little studio work.

Had to quit to get a real job. Now I'm doing commercial art- tattooing! I had a ball playing music but I never had the drive to 'try and make it' on a national level- way way way too much BS and the music industry is SO f'd, more and more every year. Seems like you don't need a good band, you need an entertainment lawyer, washboard abs, and hair in one eye.

Anyway, good luck with the music and good luck finding a racing machine shop job.

PS the article mentioned above was good, but written to a 19 year old audience. You don't seem ready to live off your girlfriend so you can get ray barton's coffee.
