But all power to you for the amount of music you get to perform, on top of a real job, too.
Many thanks for this Ron.
When it comes to it, if I didn't do any music and just the
real job, I might just go insane.
Also, I've been wondering about the term
real job. I know we (nearly) all use it, but it strikes me that there isn't anything remotely
real about sitting in an office, fiddling with a keyboard, playing about with concepts, numbers and words.
And I'm sure music is a much older profession / occupation - perhaps not the oldest profession in the world (
), but certainly fulfilling a fundamental need in a fundamental way.
(I really need to get round to reading 'the Singing Neanderthals', which has been sitting unopened on my bedside table for a while now!)
Are the Arts more 'real' than much of our modern activities for anyone else out there?
