Fantastic Rodge! Those that know and stay in the game are the hardy ones, those just starting out are in for quite the ride!

Posted on the Basschat.co.uk forum so hopefully there'll be feedback from there.

I'm motivated by the quote from Pele (Brazilian Footballer) where he said "“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.”

He could have been a musician...

Bought your CD more than a decade ago at the Bass Bash at JT Schmidts during NAMM. Your set was special. I loved that hang.

Wow Yolanda, I will always appreciate the fact that you share your journey with us, it shows a lof of confident from you even if you say the opposite here and there ?

So MERCI for your words that I find inspiring as it seems that I share the same road, it also shows me stuff that I should do, not sure I will as I'm kind of "old school", but at least I know it and I'm not complaining.

Right on, you take care Yo !!!

PS : I sold 5 CD's today, one sale makes me smile, so 5, I'm having a beer right now, I love to go to the post office for that. :-)
