You sure do a great job of making me jealous :D

Super cool, do you get your money for nothing and your kicks for free as well :P

Fantastic :) Jealous is gross underestimation.
Proper diary is expected.

although I'm sure that was meant as a compliment, I think it's probably attributed to a life long dedication to playing guitar :D and not luck. I've heard some of marcus' playing, he's amazing.

Yes Phil, that was mean as a compliment. Somtimes for me as a speaking German language guy it is not so easy to find the right words in english language.

It's more of a bad joke from my side, I know luck plays into it, but at least from my side, I hope that it's more than just luck :D
