This site is great but sometimes it cracks me up when I read some of the posts about members whining and belly-aching because they don't consider they are getting enough reviews, comments, views etc. or maybe not getting enough recognition for their efforts. God help us.

Personally, I couldn't give a rat's arse about how many compliments, pats on the head etc. I get. I just enjoy writing, recording and presenting my stuff. If someone leaves a nice comment after listening (or maybe sometimes not listening - just being courteous) well, that's cool and appreciated but I reckon I would not be going out and slashing my wrists if nobody bothered.

Jesus Christ we are all adults here; most of us seniors I guess but hey ...

International stardom is just around the corner, guys with stadiums around the globe jam-packed with thousands of adoring fans LOL

Just stay cool everybody; it's only a hobby after-all.

Absolutely.  International stardom would be OK but I don't really want to do the stadium concerts. If I could just have the money and maybe the groupies that would be good. Although TBH as a 65 year old chronic asthmatic I think the groupies would bring my career to a rapid cardio-vascular end.

I don't really need the money either and I would probably only squander it on guitars and keyboards.  So I think I will just keep playing and listening to music. That'll do for me.

I am a legend in my own lunchtime. When i was a kid practicing in my bedroom, i was convinced that Ozzy would walk past the house and knock on the door, asking who's that playing and do they want to join the band :) ah, teenage dreams.

I would humbly ask that we all move along...and I am not wearing any underwear.

You're right, Ray.  You're right!  I've grown up.

Personally I usually take solace from the support offered by a pair of finely tailored underpants.

I'm not trying to brag, you understand.
