Where I live there are some good singers but they have no ambition to be an artist. Satisfied to sing locally, that's it. A wasted talent, but not everyone wants the life of an artist on the road, I don't think I would either. At my age I'm not going to worry about it. I am mainly into gospel now and I have close to 1800 songs registered with CCLI and churches as far away as Australia and New Zealand and as close as the USA and Canada are using many of my songs. I'm happy with that, I won't get rich but that is not my aim, if I can touch someone and bring them to God, that thrills me to no end. Money is not a good measure of success. Marc I believe you know what I'm talking about. You help others and that is what life is all about, giving has its own rewards.
