I will tell you about me ,I have done a lot with my life ,but not so much about ego and experience and confidence in what I do .
Now days I see that look of disbelief ,I have even been called a liar ,
well then I will put up and shut you up ,hate being called a liar ,
I never say I am good at something unless I am ,and I will tell you when I have not experience at something ,I am willing to learn anything ,but some things I do have honed skills .
but I hate sounding like a bragger too,
But I am not ashamed I have lived ,can't help it others haven't .
But will I ,can I tell you about myself ? depends on the subject
Selling my skill's as the ones I see as the ones that matter ,
I wouldn't hire a contractor thats not confident in what he does ,but I still try to be humble ,not to over confident .
So mechanical skills or as a builder ,I'm not shy at all ,I do love to show off ,especially for someone who doubted me .
But !!! when it comes to my music, I throw it out there (sometimes hoping to hear "Well lets hear it,lets see what ya got ")
but I have never liked selling music so I need a manager for that .
But I do love getting paid well for something I enjoy ,maybe thats it
I don't feel I am worth what I get paid .(Usually as much for 2) 4 hour nights as I get paid all week building homes and I am not cheap at that either )
I don't want to be the one that over sells myself and turn them into immediate haters .
I know lots of people that can sing and play better than I can,but I have just as much heart ,when I preform for one or thousands I give my all .and I hate any mistakes ,I practice until its second nature .and my style is mine .
Years of practice to be good at my craft and experience on the stage ,
actually traveled ,had a large fan base ,put out an album 25 yrs ago .
But being a Dad come first (though my girls and I have done Gospel for years )
But the old fans ,I just kind of dropped off the planet
(a divorce destroyed my self confidence and self esteem for a while )
But I never get past nerves ,and past hating to sell myself ,,when it comes to my music ,I always feel like that is when I need to shut up before I say something arrogant or stupid .so again ,its not about my ego .
I know lots of singers and performers their "I am Gods gift to the world "cockiness ,It immediately makes me dislike them ,
I don't want anyone feeling that way about me .
I like when they judge a book by its cover ,and I blow them away
I love hearing "Damn Gomer Pyle ,you can sing ",I sure didn't see that coming .
Building an engine ,building you a home ,I have no trouble laying my references out there and drop names of the people I have worked for ,,I am there to win that job .and sell you a package deal if you like what you hear ,
my references and past customers verify I can do what I say I can do .
But I don't know why I am the way I am about my music ,I just need a manager
I wish my music could just sell itself ,but no one knows who I am anymore
Now I have someone selling me all over again ,I just can't do it
"Blowing your own horn ",I always heard that was a bad thing
But actually if you don't blow your own horn, your not a horn player LOL
some times I wish I had that cocky ego I had when I was young ,but I don't
