I can really understand 'cause I'm in the same situation essentially. Add to that the fact that I'm nearly 50, have developed a hernia (and this stuff is heavy), plus the fact that I'm in a cultural backwater and if it ain't "Classic Rock" or Country almost no one gives a flip in Southern Oregon. No wonder most of my gigs (when I do them) are somewhere else. End of old fart, whining, and complaining rant. Actually doing the minimal acoustic rig gig I did a week ago was quite fulfilling. I may do more if the way of things continues. Acoustic takes a different sort of "chops" to be sure. But It was not lacking in rewards. I hate to "mellow out" just as I've gotten the "angry hands" guitar thing going (heheheh) but I may have to for survival's sake. And, for a Medford audience, even though they didn't how to categorize what I was doing, they seemed to like it and ask about it afterwards. Oh well . . . tEd ® kiLLiAn ArsOcarina@aol.com http://www.mp3s.com/tedkillian http://www.pfmentum.com/flux.html http://www.mp3.com/Ophelia_Pancake
