It sounds as if you are having fun and you are very fortunate to be so
talented. I wish I lived close enough to hear you play.

Have you ever wished you could tell your childhood self a thing or two about
growing up?
Would the knowledge you know now have saved you from learning things the
hard way?

Subject: Where Am I?
Hi Gang.............
I would guess I am not the only one who wonders where they are going.
I have a regular "day job" as a Manager of the Tool/Hdwr. Dept at Lowe's.
(28 years of Tools at Sears...8 Years of Tools at Lowe's)
I started to learn photography and playing the guitar when I was around 12.
(1966)
I have not always completely kept up with either
vocation but they have always been part of me.
In 1989 I started in business as Prof. Photographer.
(a side line to my day job)
For a few years I played in a Folk/Rock Trio.
(I played acoustic and electric guitar, electric bass, mandolin and sang)
While in that Trio I would often tell the audience that I was...
A Photographer pretending to be a Musician.....
Not a Musician pretending to be a Photographer.
Now I find my self in a Trio playing Classic Rock/Country.
And I just bought a Steel Guitar.
Friday night I have a rehearsal with the Trio.
Saturday Morning I have a Photo Shoot.
Sometimes I have the feeling that I am a Musician.
Sometimes I feel that I am a Photographer.
I have more than a small degree of talent as either.
Maybe I should have been born twins.............
Or triplets while at my day job.
