I did learn to site read but that was long time ago so i don't think I could do it now
As regard playing professionally I used to play between five to seven nights a week all over the country but still had a day job so i always said i was Semi pro
Still have a drum kit although I have not played for over ten years since moving to Spain
Working as a musician 5 to 7 nights a week , I’d definitely consider professional. I always thought professional just meant you got paid for your services. I certainly didn’t work that much to call myself professional then and the money usually was put back into the band for purchasing music etc.,
I hadn’t played for years either but the interest came back.
Thanks for sharing your musical experiences with us. Hopefully you’ll play once more.

Have you ever written or recording any of your own stuff?
I've recorded a couple of my own songs. This one ('Dead on Arrival at your Heart) is a sad song I wrote about 40 years ago about a break-up. I found it in an old file and recorded it to see how it sounded. - https://soundcloud.com/user-11840510...ead-on-arrival
This is one I wrote much more recently for my wife and is a much happier song about our relationship - https://soundcloud.com/user-11840510...9044/wild-card

So you did your own harmonies by recording over your own vocals ? That’s exactly what I want to do. You ought to be proud of those recordings. They are most impressive?
When you explained about how the neighbours would only hear the background of your recording. When I first started playing my first keyboard , I was so excited about playing that I’d wake up in the middle of the night and play. I wasn’t worried about anyone hearing me because I had a headset I plugged in which only I could hear. One night I’m playing away and my husband wakes up and asks what I’m doing making so much noise at 3:00 in the morning. That’s when I noticed that the headset wasn’t plugged in. It was also mid summer so all the windows were open so my neighbours may have heard also. Oops
My husband reminds me of that all the time.
It’s nice knowing people who have actually recorded something. I’ve liked to but never quite managed.
Thanks for sharing your work with us.
