Not getting older....better
You know - to be positive about this...I was a driven guitarist and bassist when I was 14. I started writing then, but I felt...well, retarded. I just couldn't get where I felt others were. Our co-producer/lead guitarist was a gifted genius at 18 and I still felt like a rank amateur. But, I kept at it, kept doing my own thing, going my own way...seemingly unable to do anything but take the road less traveled. Well, here I am today writing the best songs of my career, singing better, playing better and enjoying things more. I finally feel like I'm where I always wanted to be. That doesn't mean successful in the world's terms...it means being the best I can be...but it also means having some peace with where I am. So, at 52, I feel like I've finally 'clicked' and know what I'm doing. O, I'm still flying below the radar, but I'm content doing it and I know why I'm doing it.
Talk about 'Geezerology' or maybe that;s 'geezophosy'. Call it what you will, I call it contentment. Thoughts from left field..dbs out.
