Philip G Hunt Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 I've been making music for years (since before digital) and I've been releasing music on platforms for years....but only yesterday I got my first subscriber on Bandcamp. Mixed in with the joy was the realisation.....I am such a low achiever. ?
marcL Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Don't are sad guys, there are always lesser achievers like me! ? 1 1
Shane_B. Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 And then there's me. I never did anything right. Just ask my wife. 3
craigb Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Well, with my ADHD, I start out with good intentions then try to find just the sound I'm looking for. After playing 4,322 snippets I finally stop and... SQUIRREL! 1

bayoubill Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 While in another Fred I realized I could have just bought trophies when I was in high school. It’s like the time I finally told my wife “ok, I’ll play charades “ only to hane a heart attack when it was my turn 1 1
bayoubill Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 You see they thought I was playing......................never mind 1

He had a heart attack, slumped to the floor...and then audience continued laughing as if it was part of the act. ... Then the show had to go on.... With a very confused audience. ?
RobertWS Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 There is no such thing as an underachiever. It just means someone placed the bar too high. 1

Michael Vogel Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) I’m a virtual musician - I virtually create music. It very flexible as it allows me to live vicariously through this forum and YouTube. That way I can maintain my full time occupation of “Couch Potato”. The pay’s lousy but there’s no tax or paper work. Edited January 27, 2021 by Michael Vogel 1
Starise Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 I could go on about how we are all valuable and we all have something to give to the world but I suspect this isn't a serious thread and no one wants a pep talk. It is what it is I guess. It's a 1st world problem. Having the gear and tech to make music professionally but deciding not to make money at it is a true luxury generations past either knew nothing about or dreamed of doing but couldn't.

The big questions to answer here are probably much larger than a thread could support or allow IMHO. I could give you the condensed version. You've put up some pretty good acoustic guitar music. You've made some nice nature recordings. You've maybe been a musician at local places to where you live. What more could a man want? Make music for yourself , make music for others, make music for God ( if you are prone in that direction) and maybe not in that order. I think these are achievements worth noting. If you believe we were made and not evolved as I do, then we were made to make music as a part of what we do or maybe it's all some of us do. Ask yourself why. Just a thought. If you can answer the WHY, you have answered many other questions. 1
