If you have rockstar And or making living off of being a singer go dream but with reality in mind. You either have that gift that compels people to stop/drop (also pay to)and listen to you or not.

Also, Louis Armstrong has a very distinct voice and no one I've heard sings a Wonderful World better.

I pursued my dream as a kid I started to hear songs in my head I hadn't heard before. That led me to Nashville to finish college and pursue my Songwriting dream. There you have to be the best of the best and many of those don't make it as they didn't get their break. While pursuing my dream I played/performed in many guitar circles amongst 5 to 10 songwriters. People will let you know if they want to hear you again vs. the next guy or my girlfriend at the time who usually was the best in each circle we played in. That doesn't mean I don't write Or perform anymore and enjoy it..I'm always just a realistic person.
