But I am giving up something in the sense that the almost fanatical gig at any price (tired, long journeys, not feeling well and so forth) me has really started to fade away. I have enough oomph for it to be alright on the night still but its a different world now for me personally and I cant approach it all in the same way anymore.  <br><br>If my online stuff does well enough than maybe they will pick me up in a limo occasionally \ud83d\ude02<br><br>A few more significant people (proper writers musicians\/composers) have taken a bit of an interest in my music in the last year to date. There is a tipping point and it may be that I am getting near to the threshold of being &#8216;seen&#8217; to an extent, but more likely its just a blip. What&#8217;s redundant to be honest is chasing the live gigs, there will be some of course and I am not going to turn opportunity&#8217;s down when they do occur of course. But literally 1000s of people have heard and sometimes seen me play\/perform that I would never play to face to face. I can expand on this certainly. Its is possible though that if I do live opportunity&#8217;s will eventually present themselves again but maybe not pubs so much. <br><br>I will not give up music unless forced to by ill health.  I can expand on the video side of things considerably (I haven&#8217;t really fully embraced that yet) and it maybe that I should put energy into that.  I do need more human interaction generally though of course.   Well, we all have to adapt at some point. And let go of the old redundant ways though its hard to do.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Too much is never enough they say&#8230;<br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"499\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"179882\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/2026\/02\/24\/endings-perhaps\/stage3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/stage3.jpeg?fit=1216%2C2495&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1216,2495\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"stage3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/stage3.jpeg?fit=499%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/stage3-499x1024.jpeg?resize=499%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Diana Stone on vocals\" class=\"wp-image-179882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/stage3.jpeg?resize=499%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 499w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/stage3.jpeg?resize=146%2C300&amp;ssl=1 146w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/stage3.jpeg?resize=768%2C1576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/stage3.jpeg?resize=749%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 749w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/stage3.jpeg?resize=998%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 998w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/glass-cage.com\/dianas_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/stage3.jpeg?w=1216&amp;ssl=1 1216w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I have had a bad day or two recently to be honest.
