I never went to college at all but if I'd been in your shoes I'm sure I'd have done the same thing! Playing music and entertaining people is what I want to do forever. There's something about it that's just my thing I guess, I'll never be wealthy but I'll also never be bored doing this.Welcome from Arizona.
I have played bass guitar over 45 years, even earned my living that way for quite a few years.
Grew up playing piano. Played trumpet in grade school and double bass in high school. I dabbled with pipe organ of all things for the short time I was in college before throwing that over to go on the road with a regional band travelling all over west Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.
Looking back, I probably should have finished college.
