Should be #1 for the 10 things............
How are they able to make a living.
How are they able to make a living.
Hmm, let's see--good list.
Most of it fits me.
I've wanted to play guitar for as long as I can remember--even as a small child--and so #1 wouldn't have applied--I would have had no idea what that meant.
#2 sure, being famous may have some perks--but the level of fame was never my goal--it was more about having enough to make a living at it--play concerts, make recordings, etc.--so the fame wasn't the goal--it was a tool in a sense.
#3 I have been called weird--both in an affectionate or endearing way & in an insulting way.
#4 I have made big decisions in my life not he basis of music--They haven't always been the best decisions I could have made or worked out well--but it is a part of who I am.
#5 True--although I don't think I eve reached that level--but I get what it means. And for what I do & what role music plays in my life--I guess I am successful in some ways.
#6 Some people don't get it--because they don't get it, or they don't like it.
#7-in a variety of ways
#8 I find even among musicians some seem to hold to this and don't realize there are more levels--even though they are somewhere in between--so I can have patience with non musicians who think that way
#9--sometimes I can just listen to a song as a listener & nothing else--but I have to try--and even then I sometimes think about it--but I still get a lot of enjoyment out of music.
#10--this is my #1--it's in me & it's got to come out (& then it refills)
