Well, not only are the serious party days over but the routine of discipline via going to bed @ 11:00 pm and waking at 6:00am is long in place on weekdays. Weekends is a big thrill as I allow myself an extra hour on both ends. Crash at midnight and sleep in to 07:00am. Way different the the hours kept when I was a paid professional party animal. I have found I rather like and thrive now on structure and self discipline ;) Until next time music cats, have a good one :beatnik:

Lol understood. So many of my friends got out of the party via the classic “ I met a great woman and then my first child came along” that never came my way as I hung with women that partied even more than I. :rflmao:So when I moved from Nashville to hillbilly hill mountain land, I hit the gas in the uhaul at 41 years old and said “no more” as I hit the gas pedal not having a clue as to what my future held. I was running a print shop in Nashville when I left and a print shop here in Richlands hired me at $6.75 per hour. Worked there for 2 years paying my dues in hell for the sins of my party. So when AT&T hired me I said “don’t f... this up at my age”. Hence why I’ve posted I went over the next 13 years without touching one of my guitars nor setting up audio equipment. I had to pull myself up by my own bootstraps and was fearful music would put me smack back in it. After the years passed , the demons were conquered and I returned to music. Minus the nose candy but with an eternal bag of weed. Sorry it may be a gateway drug but it can also be the reverse. I stepped up from the weed 40 years ago and then stepped back down via the weed years later. I always said back then “ when I am an old man I just want to enjoy my weed and music again and leave this powder crap behind” . I did exactly that and lived to tell the tale :naughty:

There was always plenty of that gear hanging around when i was djing in clubs,i never really liked it but i did partake,my choice of "poison" was ecstacy or "E's" in the late 80's early 90's,found it really made me focus on the music,i never got the people that just did it at home or to go down the pub,i just took it when i played or if we went to clubs nights/raves/festivals to dance the night away then some smoke afterwards to come down.

Thank you so much for sharing. Not many are opened enough or simply capable of telling about life experiences which is all about. . As with you (and I) it's what's it all about.

Now I feel like more than a friend, but a brother. So glad to know you.
