My best friend, Neil Zaza, is a world renown guitarist. His cd albums sell world-wide. But the music world no longer includes the US. Our popular music really sucks!
You’re right Doc. I found that people increasingly weren’t interested in hearing live rock music, which translated into hard times getting bookings.
Although I still enjoy playing rock I’ve started playing bluegrass to get my jollies. There is a surprisingly rich bluegrass community in Washington state and opportunities to play - or just jam are plentiful.
