Hey, my axe isn't jealous of you. They live at home and have their own studios and the folks pay all the bills. There's no struggling, no dues paying, no knowledge of real life. They play for free and give away their CDs at the gigs. Most of them aren't worth buying.
Originality is a good thing.
I remember when I was in Xebec, getting docked by a club owner for playing just a few original songs. They blended so well with the other material we were playing he didn't even know until we told him. Every time we played his tavern he ran out of beer. I actually quit the music business for a time and moved to the woods because of that. After all the time I've invested in learning my craft, it would be wrong not to use it.
