And now for something completely different

So here I am. The latest rock star in the making. I'm not competing in some wannabe idol show or next star thing because I'm pretty sure I'd never get past the pre-selection. I might make it to the blooper reel but that is of course not really what I'm aiming for.

This is more of a long term plan and because I'm old enough to be labeled 'old man' by my kids I'm hoping to become a retirement home idol of sorts. Forget being cool with the youngsters, if I understand it correctly the money is with the older crowd so I might as well target them with my quest for stardom.

So what makes me think I can make it? Well, there is that thing called wishful thinking and that should get me well on my way. I also have acquired a really cool guitar so the hardware is in place for practicing as well. I also got a book from the music store which should help me learn how to play so there is really not much to stop me I'd say.

In the next little while I will bore you to tears with progress reports on my playing ability and maybe a description or two of my gear and study material all of which, I'd like to point out, will be collectors items once I make it big. Mental note to self, don't throw that stuff out!

I'll keep this short to keep the fans eager. I'll be writing more soon. Leaving the building for now ...
