I get a lot of messages "I think it's great that you are *still* doing music after all these years!"
This is very flattering and nice.
But also a bit peculiar.
Because, why shouldn't I still be doing what I do?
If you look at other artists like Picasso, Frank Sinatra, Schoenberg... (Not saying I'm a Picasso).
They kept doing their art when they were 40+. Or older. In fact, many artists do their thing - until the grave.
Even people with dull jobs like civil servants or clerks do not usually retire in the moment they pass the age of 30...
I can understand that some people change priorities, quit music, and do something else.
But... just because of age?
Doesn't make sense to me!
Btw: this is just my 2 cents, I know these comments are well-meaning, I just wanted to point out that no-one needs to quit what they like to do!
