It gives me a reason to live, it keeps me sane and creating music fulfills a need in my soul.
Just to be recognized by my peers, which I already am. If I can reach more people-that's good too.
Return to a country that is by the people and for all the people; not just the richest few.

Usually just picking up a guitar will do it.
Just to relate my experiences to my audience, hoping they had that experience too. To reach out and touch people; to touch the soul.
Energized, usually.
It's too bad no one makes much money for their efforts. It's not easy to be a musician. Back when I first got into playing out, you could make good money and there were a lot of roadhouses. The DUI laws killed all of that. But now we have the internet, where you make almost nothing at all.
I've got 10 new songs to upload, and I can't do it because of points. I don't wanna jawbone, I wanna make music!
I see real musicianship (i e; being able to actually play an instrument) going out the window.
Mostly online encouragement. I'm 68, so I don't go clubbing much.
You can tell if someone's got that "something" that everybody wants when they hear it.
