We have to keep going, getting old can be such a challenge, we need all the dopamine we can get and music is a very good way of maintaining that, whether playing it or listening to it. I'm jealous that you saw Hendrix. I lived in South London, so I sneaked into the Bromley Court Hotel in 1963, and saw the Stones, I was 13, we got away with a lot in those days didn't we? I also used to go and see the Bonzo Dog DooDah Band when I was about 15 in the Tiger's Head, Catford, they were fantastic live. My BFF and I skated at Streatham Ice Rink, for a while on the weekend they'd have an up and coming band on a small stage by the rink playing, I saw the Herd and the Kinks there. I have lots of stories about rock stars I've interviewed as a journo, but none about rock stars I've seen as a therapist, not allowed of course! But if you'd like to be confident enough to get on stage, or if you do perform but it's awful for you, I might be able to help, I'm also a semi pro musician so I can come at this from several angles. Meanwhile Martin, keep the Vlogs coming, really good!
