Music is a mystery for people who play it, write it, listen to it, and write about it. The only thing I can really do when I try to say something about music is assume.

Thought for the Day
Playing (and writing) music is a lousy way to try to make a living, but a terrific way to make a life.
I am active as a composer, a violist, a violinist, a recorder player, a CD reviewer, and as a teacher. I began my professional musical life as a flutist, and spent a lot of quality time as a baroque flutist, but both of those instruments spend their time tucked away in a drawer, while my violin, viola, and my viola d'amore are often tucked under my chin.

First thing I remember from college: “You are not here to learn how to make a living. You are here to learn how to make a life.”
Well said, Mom and Dad!
