And I don't regret my career choice for one minute.

Notes


I played in a band back in the 70's with a guy who decided to follow the music path in life. He ended up in Florida and working on the cruise ships. From what I understand, he did make a career out of it. About a year ago, the cruise line let him go, said he was getting too old and the cost of his insurance was the reason...... so he is now still in Florida, trying to sell his house and move back in this area.... but still gigging for that daily bread.

BTW, he said the cruise ship life was "the life" with all the perks and the very little time he actually had to work. Especially if you liked to eat and lay around in the sin at the pool watching the people.... smile
