It can be disheartening, but then someone will come along and drop a few coins or dollars into your hat and flash you an encouraging smile, and you find your faith in

Except when you play inside a concert hall. Millions are paid and you still get no attention.

[ravenblackhair]

Playing in concert halls can be overblown. I prefer more intimate venues.

[kochab]

Then get a bigger sound system. More crowds.

I will attempt to build my new theremin with one. The violin is acoustic, however.

[kochab]

Okaay. Buy a microphone. Draw attention. You might not get more money but it will definitely get cops call on you.

[ravenblackhair]

I suppose I could look into that. It's not about the money, though.

Yes, yes, recognition. But recognition gets you no food.

[ravenblackhair]

Too impersonal.

Television is filled with crap. Reality shows and ridiculous sitcoms. My love deserves better.

[kochab]

God above, you are. Precious. Someone needs to stick this in a museum before it's corrupted.

[ravenblackhair]
