I bet if I had these thoughts in my head nobody would like my music including myself... Thats not how magic works! Its the opposite, if you like your own stuff, you'll share it. I bet you will find people which like it, because it means something to you. There is no need to care about the other 6 billion people in the world who'll never hear it anyway... I also bet that the percentage of owners of David Torn CD's which adore his music is higher than the percentage o owners of David Bowie, Phil Collins, (fill in any star) music. The number of sold CD's doesn't mean anything, the percentage of people you touch when they listen to your music is a more important figure. If you have 10 listeners and they are all deeply touched also makes you feel better than any sales figure (out of my own experience...)
