[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 273251"] From little on up, I always wanted to be a classical violinist. Not just play in a "metropolitan orchestra," but a professional one. As I started taking stock of my life @ 28, in orchestra number two, taking a break from practicing for an upcoming Cleveland audition, it dawned on me that equating the love of music with "having to" do it for a living was, basically, a vanity trip. Like musicians who didn't have to have day jobs were the cool guys that ordinary people looked up to. Today, both of the orchestras I played in are bankrupt, and I'm about to retire shortly with (by current standards) a pretty decent pension. Mainly because I got being a cool guy out of my system. Probably not relevant to this discussion, but it somehow seems worth mentioning. :face: [/QUOTE]
