Talking with one of my old guitar players..

[Odd-Arne Oseberg]

First he needs to go 100% carnivore, which should take care of the 'roids and then start his own original band.

Taking a break by smoking meat and other things may also be healthy.

All depends on the folk you're in a band with.

I've been in the that situation where I've been ready to quit gigging. Singer showed up too drunk to do a wedding and I had to sing the whole gig. I can completely understand why someone would call it a day because people are a nightmare to deal with and you just want to be left alone. (usually me every October when wedding season finishes!)

I'm lucky I work with close friends. Only reason I've hacked it for as long as I have I think!

 

[No Way Jose]

I like partying with my friends in bars, playing music, and meeting people. I'd still play open mics even if I wasn't gigging.

I am 75 and still love to gig, I can still play like I want, no drama band, and some people still get into the music so, I'm playing for them and my band. I'm lucky that my situation has no reasons for me to want not to do it.
