Ryan, I said it wasn't ONLY about making money, of course a person needs to make a living and wants to be paid for their art. The point is that she would much rather play what she was trained to play and what is in her heart but needs to take other "gigs" to make ends meet. Musicians take gigs that they have to take to make ends meet just like many others do jobs they would rather not have to do to pay their bills. Let's not make more out of this than I meant it to be. Classical music in the USA has, and probably will always, be challenged. The arts in general are always challenged but we are all the better for having them and we should not let them disappear but try to build them up not tear them down. ESP
