PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE A MUSICIAN//NON-MUSICIAN!!! Taken from a LA Times journalist, David Ackert.... Singers and Musicians are some of the most courageous people on the face of this earth. They deal with more day-to-day rejection in one year than most people do in a lifetime. Everyday, they face the financial challenge of living a freelance lifestyle, the disrespect of people who think they should get real jobs, and their own fear that theyll never work again. Everyday they have to ignore the possibility that the vision they have dedicated their lives to is a pipe dream. With every note, they stretch themselves, emotionally and physically, risking criticism and judgement. With every passing year, many of them watch as other people their age achieve the predictable milestones of normal life - the car, family, the house, the nest egg. Why? Because musicians and singers are willing to give their entire lives to a moment - to that melody, that lyric, that chord, or that interpretation that will stir the audiences soul. Singers and musicians are beings that have tasted lifes nectar in that crystal moment when they poured out their creative spirit and touched anothers heart. In that instant, they were as close to magic, God, and perfection as anyone could ever be. And in their own hearts, they know that to dedicate oneself to that moment is worth a thousand lifetimes.
