I have no distributor... it is indicative to me that there are these pockets of players and collectors all over. You should see the correspondence I get from over the world letting me know how significant they think I am. I know that wherever I go, I am well received. ↗

I set myself up to be a bass guitarist and bass players get a lot more work than people like me. ↗
