I played rock bass guitar off and on from when I was a junior in high school (11th grade, 1965-66) up until 1985. To say the least, it was my passion.

Dude, you too? Let's see, 11th grade in 65-66? You're only slightly older than me. I've played rock bass and keyboards since my junior year in 68-69 and am still very passionate and serious about what I play. I can listen to a lot of different stuff, but the music I choose to play is carefully chosen and meticulously arranged, absorbed, obsessed over, and performed.
I've been where you were, ready and eager to chuck it all. Several times. Most due to other musicians and their attitudes or ineptitudes. But it's all in me, integral to my existance. I was born a musician and can't deny the inherent intimacy with all things musical.
