Yeah brother! I'm one of your biggest fans! Not only is your journey as a musician interesting but it seems to be somewhat of an on going struggle which makes it very eye opening for me. I've always been a believer in my late Granny's words "good things come to those who wait." The "big show" may just be around the next corner for you my friend. I would say as long as you love what you do and can make a living at it your one of the luckiest alive but you already fit this bill to a "T" :). No advice here except to say keep doin' what you do. Glad steemit is helping further your journey.
