Never wanted to be a professional musician. As OP states, too many strains on relationships. I also refuse to fly anywhere - ever (no discussion). Generally don't like travel and always liked early beddy-byes. Hate hotels. Will not be told what/how to play.
just as well I never wanted to be a professional musician. 😵💫

I assure you Mr McCombe, I did not 'slabber' over you; merely fell through your bass cabinet, electrocuting the Entertainments Secretary and sang harmonies to Sweet Chile o' Mine in H flat. 'Slabber' indeed! 🫨
Not part of this 'club' as I'd have no chance, but must say, it's my favourite spectator sport this year. I wonder if Ladbrokes could give me odds on the runners. 😃 I reckon Neeps will fall at the final fret.
