Your Time Will Come

"Singers release a particular amino acid from their lungs when they sing. This is why most singers are underweight. Scientifically proven fact !!".......... Really man these days so much research is going on with what not. Everyone tries to get to the root cause of anything and everything (not always on AIDS/HIV as we normally think).
BTW this was quoted by none other than Mr. Bruce Dickinson (Lead Vocalist of Iron Maiden). I was wondering why in this world of VLCCs and SlimPoints with obese men and women trying everything under the sun to lose their paunch, I managed to maintain my weight consistently within 55 kgs (maybe 5-8 kgs underweight).
Now coming to the actual story....(At last) .... For the last 10 odd years I am singing songs. Not in the bathroom....but in concerts. I get cash and for that I sing Deep Purple, Bon Jovi, Europe, and Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. In the meantime I went through a series of break ups with my girlfriends, dumped my day-jobs and also left my Engineering career for singing.

Sounds good right.....hmmmmm..... story of a struggling cover band vocalist sacrificing so much in life and....and.... no not getting that elusive sweet thing called success. "How on earth do you think you will get success if you are a in a cover band." These are all expert comments and experts all over the world can be considered homogeneous with their view points.

But I had once dreamt.....dreamt of BIG stages, Pyros, screaming fans, and...and.........so much.
It boils down to one chorus line (changed accordingly) "When will my time come".

reference: Wicker Man (Chorus line---"Ur time will come")
