I'm comfortable, but not satisfied and I hope to always feel that way.
I don't really know why I chose bass except that it was different than guitar.
I have no inflated ideas about success anyway.
Music is a very personal and emotional form of communication.
It wasn't until after private lessons and learning bass lines that I even noticed bass in the music I was listening to at that age. My ears were blown wide open.
Being in several, disparate bands is what I thrive on.
