selling, buying....

Post by Don Drummer »

This reminds me of a conversation I had with a budding musician who asked my advice about making music. My response to this sculpture turned musician was that it was important to take into account the audience and the importance of communicating to the non musical public. His take on that was "That is a rationalasation for artistic compromise" My response was, "Yes I am being rational" Don D.

To my mind, the most embarrassing thing about this story is that Kenny Chesney admits to liking those smug, self-satisfied Corona TV ads.

I'll learn to work the saxophone. I'll play just what I feel.

What I'd like to know is, does it ever stop feeling like work for any of you?
