Scott,

Best of luck. Remember, don't let a few down days cloud the overall goal. Keep the chin up and your sticktoitiveness!!!

Scott, I was 44 when I sold my music store, with over 400 students and 13 teachers. I wanted to teach priviatly and play full time. I lost the security and gained lots of freedom doing what I loved.

I always made sure I made enough money in my day job so that I could be selective in where and who I played for.

Excitement is here, embrace it, John C.

Thanks for the good wishes and encouragement. It does really mean a lot to me right now coming from this gang.

Best
Scott

Hi Scott,
My very best to you on this new path that life has taken. As others have said,it could very well be a golden opportunity. Please take care as we all feel you'll do great
with your new direction.

Cheers,
Doug

Good Luck from me as well Scott.

I have been down the same route as I used to sell, demonstrate and teach people to play home organs - Well that business has all but disappeared now here in the uk and suddenly there wasn't the commission to be had for a decent living for me.

It is a little scary at first but I'm sure you will be fine - You are doing lots of positive things like your demo and web site - Get out there and sell yourself - it won't take long and you will enjoy the freedom of being your own boss for sure.

Scott,
Good luck in your new venue. Talent rolls on in different directions sometimes and I wish you the best. Just remember not to let out too much pressure in fear of getting the bends.

Good luck to you, Scott. I always believe a talented guy will never fail his dreams.

I must say to Scott and others, you are an inspiration to us all for following your dreams and refusing to be victims.

Persuing what you love and a life of freedom in the arts is truly an eye opener to me and is really putting the thought in my head to maybe shake up my own comfort zone.

Scott ... wishing you the very best ... I envy you ...

Been there, done that, Scott. If I can do it anybody can. Best wishes,
