Absolutely fucking awesome stuff, Struth! I was in a band for a few years, way back when. Lead singer and guitar. So was Mr Chilli. Our children are following in our footsteps. Though we're now running a small catering business. Not sure the tin lids are as passionate about food. Music and food go together, I say. Both industries took a bashing during the lockdowns. Thanks for sharing your talent.

We were already married. We met at an Iron Maiden gig through mutual friends. I did, however, enjoy the fine timing of my drummer and bass player.

Both industries most certainly took a bashing, Chilli. I lost my business as a professional muso firstly as the pubs closed to all and then to the unjabbed like me. It's good to talk to a fellow muso who will understand the years put in doing practice and rehearsals. When I moved to QLD I was a burnt out truckie and Mrs Struth told me to just rest and go and "play guitar in a pub or something" So I spent 2 years reteaching myself and learning to use a loop pedal etc, and playing in small pubs and doing outback tours over the dry seasons of those years. To break my mind from it I commented on Sinc's blog and researched politics and things while having a coffee break. The very week I broke into the well paid club circuit, they closed the pubs down after my first gig.
I remember saying to Mrs Struth that I was going back to playing in pubs because unlike trucks, the government aren't trying to ruin artists!!
Oh how we laugh about that stupid statement now.
Of course tourism went tits up as well.

"It's good to talk to a fellow muso who will understand the years put in doing practice and rehearsals."
Pure old school. Sacrificing a lot and doing what you can to achieve your goal. True musos don't put their hand out and expect a free ride. No lazy leftist expectation of a grant from the govt. They bite the bullet for, often, little gain. The passion keeps you going.
