No Satisfaction

I hear some wonderful and well known singers and musicians, and sometimes I think….if only.

If only I could warble like that or play that, my songs might find an audience.

But here’s what happens in reality:

I write a song. A song needs a performer. I don’t happen to know any of the aforementioned famous talented people to sing my songs for me. But I play guitar a little and I sing a little. And so I become the performer. And…

Well, actually, that has been enough to find me an audience.

But of course, in my opening sentence, what I meant to say was “a bigger audience”.

How big?

Well, there’s the crux of the matter.

What would it really take to find some satisfaction?
