When I was in top 40 bands, I always had to learn new material and new styles.
The reality is, some people don't want you to change or go anywhere different.
I could easily not be the person that people know.
I would say that I've been lucky. Being blessed and not really ever giving up.
It might be a huge hit, it might not; but you learn something doing it.
You can find a diamond in the rough a lot of times.
