At the end of 2006, I retired after 38 years of financial auditing in the private and public sectors. At last, I was free to return to my music which of necessity had taken a back seat most of that time.
In the late Sixties/early Seventies, I played with a Nairn band (with George Macleod on bass Colin Ewan on drums, plus invited guests) and we covered a variety of music (from Scottish to pop to country) for all kind of functions (like dances to weddings). I also did some solo entertaining in a Nairn lounge bar. This was all very part-time stuff whilst I was studying to be an accountant. My career became serious so I gave away my geetar and amp and retired from performing publicly.
I always kept an acoustic guitar handy which I played in the home for a few hours every month.
So, some 35 years on, I am now performing again and thoroughly enjoying it, doing much the same cover songs as before. The only difference is that I am much older but then again so is my audience!
