THE TIME A MUSICIAN WORKS AND PRACTICES MAY BE REWARDED WITH OUTSTANDING EARNINGS. THE WORK MIGHT COME TO FRUITION FOR A LIFETIME OR A SHORT TIME OR NOT AT ALL.

THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE ENVIOUS OR RESENTFUL OR FEEL THAT "MAKING MONEY FOR MUSIC" WAS ILLEGITIMATE.

I WORKED A LOT AT ART, WRITING AND MUSIC WHICH IS EVIDENCED BY MY TOTE FILLED WITH TAPES OF SONGS I WROTE AND PERFORMED AND RECORDED AND A BOX OF THE SONGS'  LYRIC BOOKS. MORE RECENTLY I TAPED AND IN SOME CASES PUBLISHED MY WORK ON YOU TUBE AND @blogspot.com .

WHENEVER I HAVE BEEN FIT TO PRACTICE I PRACTICED EVERY DAY OR SECOND DAY FOR THE LAST FIFTY FIVE YEARS. I DID NOT MANAGE TO MAKE ANY MONEY.
