@edgarblythe,
Edgar I'm blessed to still have the gas in the tank to do this and do it pretty well but the truth is I not only do it because I want to... I do it because I have to. I've never had any passion, and I'm not talking about the passion one has for his wife or the passion to love his children, that's a different passion, to do anything else.
I have become passionate about physical fitness and hope to be certified in early 2010, I have a list of clients waiting to come on board.... but the passion I have for that is a flicker compared to the flame of performing and playing.
I will keep rockin' a few more years I hope.
