When I started this blog, so many years ago, I'd just quit my office job and was going out into the big scary world as an 'artist'. The intention of the blog was to mark the struggles, and hopefully the achievements, of a man pushing himself a bit. It's certainly done that, and, even though a majority of my living now comes from teaching music, I'm grateful that I forced myself away from the comfort of a 9-5 desk job.
From being the scruffy, panicking, you could say shambles of a man I was when this started, I've enjoyed many adventures - some of the best days of my life, and really some of the worst. Now, I'm running a successful teaching business, I've got a wife on the way, we've just bought a huge house, I've had the acclaim for my shows that I so desperately craved, I even drive a Mercedes (I mean, it's an old one, that clearly has a few problems, but if ever a man needed a status symbol...). This blog has served it's purpose for me; my ambitions are higher than ever but it's no longer about the struggle.
There will be no more posts on here as it was getting a bit dull anyway ("taught four lessons today, went well"). I have new targets, new ambitions in life, all of which can be followed over at my slightly more public blog: https://prettymuch40.blogspot.com
Whoever still reads this, and I've seen the stats...there's plenty of you, thank you and we'll hopefully catch up soon whenever this COVID malarkey blows over. Unless, of course, you're a total weirdo, so let's just keep our contact virtual x
