TOM WIGGINS HAS A POINT. I RETIRED AFTER 40 YERAS IN THE LAW ENFORCEMENT  
BUSINESS. I HAVE BEEN STUDING THE BASS WITH AN EXCELLENT TEACHER, I  AM  PLAYING  
SOME PRETTY GOOD PAYING GIGS WITH MY PARTNER, I HAVE BEEN  AT IT FOR 7 YEARS. 
I CONSIDER MY SELF A FULL TIME MUSICIAN AND STILL TAKE LESSON  2  TIMES A 
MONTH. I STARTED PLAYING MUSIC LATE IN LIFE BUT NOT LATE IN  LIVING. WHEN I WAS 
IN MY OWN PRIVATE BUSINES I NEVER GAVE MY EXPERTISE AWAY, WHY  SHOULD ANYONE. 
QUIT CRYING AND KEEP TRYING. THOSE WHO REALLY APPRECIATE YOU  EFFORTS WILL PAY 
AND THOSE THAT DON'T WELL. NOBODY ASKED  JIM  K
