You mentioned you don't want to put in the time and effort to advance to the next level. Okay, I made that decision years ago and haven't looked back. If everyone is a master, who is there to enjoy the output?


Hi Jim,

One of the singers had a wonderful voice but was not wanting to put any time and effort into it. The other younger girl was so inconsistent in pitch that it just did not work.

It is not that I am completely unwilling to study and get better at guitar/piano, it is just I am having a hard time finding the motivation.

Miami is not exactly the music capital of the world. When I lived in LA people were much more available. There are people to play with but they are 120 miles from where I live round trip.

I have no intention of selling everything. I just have way too much stuff I am not using and have not used for years, tube amps for example, and computers I don't really need. This is not really about needing money but money is always useful.
