Re: Oboe music in support of social change...

Mary, I think you are right -- by and large, people do go into the "helping professions" because they want to HELP!

Just like people go into musical professions because they want to make beautiful music.

But somehow along the way, s--- happens. Caring people end up being embittered and music lovers end up viscerally hating the thing they used to love most. We all get brutalized by life. The trick seems to be in being able to accept that and go on.

I have often wished I could have claimed my identity as a musician at a much younger age than I did, and thus been afforded a shot at a high-powered musical career. But I will tell you honestly that sometimes I think I am better off for having come to it too late to have gotten sucked into that racket. I still play really well, and I still enjoy doing it, and that is quite a gift, in the whole scheme of things.

Susan
