I feel more comfortable in my musical life now than at any other time. I think this may be as a result of not having to produce music for a pre ordained market. Now I just do what I like and if others enjoy it then that is an added bonus.

SuziQ’s words remind us that often the arts can be driven by many opposing forces and no matter what age the artist is the creative juices can still flow beyond the musical estuary.

I was once an adventurer but now I’m just a pensioner
Fighting off the wrinkles and counting down the days
But I’m still in love with music I know I’ll never loose it
I’ll be a rock and roll man no matter what they say

I’m still younger than Bruce Springsteen by a few years and a few days
But he’s got more hair than I do and more money in the bank
But despite these casual differences we’re both still really just big kids
Reaching for the music and for that we both give thanks

Mick and Keith are in their eighties but they both still act like maybe
They are still in their twenties as they rock up a storm
And Ronnie Woods the baby in his seventies still crazy
Playing like a demon the boys always on form

So I’m going to keep on singing writing songs and always winning
When I’m fighting off the people who say its time to take a rest
I will always be a music man it was always part of my life’s plan
And thanks to CCMixter I will always give my best
