Thanks for sharing Notes...it sure does sound like you're living a wonderful and interesting life with the opportunity to do exactly what you love.

I wonder how many professional musicians (let's say - they've earned at least half of all the money they ever made playing music - or close to it) we have in the group.

Also - it's very impressive that you got to open for all those big name bands. I'd love to know if you got the chance to meet any of the big names, or band members for the big names. So close to a Motown signing, yet so far - it sounded like things really took a step back after missing out on that contract. In hindsight - are you sorry you guys didn't accept it ?
