"A good musician is someone who says, 'How can I contribute?' A musician who says, 'I want to become a soloist' is immediately less of a musician, because that's not what music is about. You want a certain status. That's great if you have the talent, and you go and do it, and you're lucky. But if that's your first priority, you really missed the boat." -- Yo-Yo Ma (famous cellist)
I thought that that would be something both of us should keep in mind.... I'm a musicain because I want to share and spread my love of music.
Lol... I've been thinking a lot today...read my LJ there's a quote on it I thought was interesting. <3 Meg
Personally, I'm a musician because I am. I write songs to surprise myself and remind myself that I am a talented and unique individual. That's why I know I'll be doing it for the rest of my life. It's a means of validation.... it tells me ",Hey... you're still worthy of living." Once the year comes when I can not write any music at all.. that'll be my last year. Ya know?
