Credit where credit is due... you have a great singing voice and it should be heard. Okay, so you're not looking toward a live music career, which I think is sad, I'm sure there'd be a lot of people who would love to hear you sing, but that's your decision and I can understand where you're coming from.
Like I said, getting other musicians to play and gel as a group is easier said than done, as you alluded to, so just keep on doing what you're doing and enjoy the buzz of creation. And this is coming from somebody who can't play at thing... can't sing fer nuts, either... but I sure as heck know what I like, and your rendition of Glycerine is something else. I really like that, and "Hard to Be Me"... both are pleasant to the ear and very easy to listen to.
I \ We actually play all the music you hear, play drums, bass, and synth, keyboard.... its just not shown here. The music here is from a prerecorded project we have been working on, so all the work involved isn't shown in the video. Mostly what we use are "virtual instruments", played on a Midi keyboard.

Yes, I knew that you played everything between you, and what you do is great, it's just that my preference, I suppose, was always to see and hear the individual musicians playing as a band. I grew up with that in the 60's and really loved that earthy feel of a live band. Yup, I'm stuck in a time warp in that way, but I still appreciate the kind of music you are doing, probably because it's based in what I'm familiar with, just more modern with newer instruments and techniques.
were both 40 plus, not likely were gonna be going on tour anytime soon,

Nah, to get into that now you'd be 90 before you could retire... just look at Mick Jagger and the 'boys', approaching their 70's and still getting up on stage because the fans want it. I was thinking something more intimate. If you were to do live performances, I was thinking more along the lines of club dates where the atmosphere is more cozy and casual, and your audience isn't chanting so loud as to drown the music in a dull roar. A friend of mine only ever did club dates, he reckoned the smaller venues suited him better and turned down several offers of touring the country with various bands.
Besides, at 40 something you don't want to be just starting out with the groupies, sex, drugs and alcohol. Sure Mick and Keith did it at your age... but they had 20 something years of training to withstand the rigors of it all.
