What frustrates you most as a musician?

im not the most learned musician as i am completely self taught . my biggest fustration is no one wants to progress from the past . the town i live in there is no funk or blues . every one here just want to play acdc or hard rock .. not that i mind but every bamd is doing the same thing . and if you are different amd like blues or funk , no one can hang .. its fustrating as i cant build a band that i know can heal people . or at least give them hope . like motown and michael and stevie gave to me .. it was that music that saved me from leaving this world of so much struggle .. i been deporessed since i xan remember .. music is all i have left that is mine . its the only thing i have to offer this world . its the only thing that has never judged me or abandoned me . i wish i could write but my mind wont let me write anything down . when i try my brain goes blank ..
