Good story -- thanks for posting that.
I have a very similar story....parents gave me my first kit at 11 years old -- taught myself to play simple rock songs and got better....in the 70s, all club gigs were six nights with Monday off....although I was fortunate to be in a very good band during 75 - 77, I knew I really did not want to spend my life gigging 6 nights per week....took a different career path but still love playing (less frequent) gigs....my band has a gig next Friday !
And -- I'm not yet in a nursing home.
