Hey Michael I can sympathize with your frustration. I'm not even in the same ball park as you but lately it seems the more i play, the less i like it. i don't know why. At least yer doin the right thing & workin on through it. I, on the other hand bought an old Sho Bud pedal steel & have been tryin to learn that instead. Why, at 57 yrs old, i'm doin that i don't know, cuz i'll probably jus never get anywhere with it. Oh well, hang in there, yer next big productive faze is probaly just around the corner.
As for the Kenny G thing, sounds like someones been drinkin downstream from the herd.
