Thread: If you could be/do anything..

If money were no object...

I would still be involved in business, but be working a lot less at bringing in income and a lot more at music. I would be very comfortable about hiring a studio and engineer and bringing in sessions people rather than trying to do everything myself, and everything I've ever written would be recorded in a proper, presentable fashion.

My real joy in music is in writing and composing, followed by performance. Recording is an art unto itself, which takes as much (or more) time and effort to learn to do well as learning an instrument. Trying to record even simple songs in my home studio and having the results meet my standards is so intimidating and so incredibly time consuming that very little ever gets done.

That's really about the only thing I'd change, other than maybe investing in more northern property. I would live no more extravagantly than I do. I would strongly resist the urge to spoil our kids, and I would continue keeping my father's axiom of alway holding something you want back so you always have something to look forward to and dream about (as far as acquisitions go.)

Since I have seen pretty much of the way my life has turned out and had it to do over with and a little more gumption and get go to get myself motivated I would become a Shaman. In my lifetime so far I have had three visions (full blown and awake visions), a number of trances and numerous Lucid dreams. Howsomever.....I aint done crap with none of it. I just sit here and watch my life flow by like a slow moving stream. Remember that old prophetic saying that says, "when your ready a teacher will come.".....Well, it's bullshit. (ha ha) You actually have to go out and find one. And now I'm too old to care.
