Ha....funny you say that.

Two of the last (4) songs I've uploaded (w/BIAB instrumentation) are definitely NOT me as a person. (It's About Time/A Hundred Good Reasons).

I just picked a subject matter and ran with with it...well...hobbled along with it.
The lyrics (always a time vampire for me) took some time to flesh out to my satisfaction.

Sheesh....if any listeners of those two efforts thought it was any reflection of my true character I'd be far more than just 'embarrassed'.
I'd be experiencing incarceration at some prison resort.

I did not mean to imply your efforts in the commercial music world was motivated for the money only.
But...two decades and you're still doing it without becoming disillusioned or weary of some of it's aspects/demands have not been discouraging to you.
Noteworthy...and obviously, you're good at what you do and sets a fine example for others pursuing the same path.

The feeling of having one's original song being played on the radio?
Indescribable comes to mind.

Back to it....
