 Re: advice for letting go of professional dreams

You know, I've played with plenty of musicians in community groups who are, simply put, good enough to be professionals. I can think of two different tenor sax players with whom I've played in part-time big bands who blew me away with their soloing chops.

Another lead alto player I played with in one of those bands had the prettiest tone I've ever heard. And the solo trumpet player constantly astounded me with his inventiveness.

All these guys had normal day gigs and did music for recreation. But I could listen to them for hours. They just chose a different path than their full-time gigging brothers.

My point is, just because you're not a full-time professional doesn't mean you can't play like one. Sounds to me like with some time, you'll be able to fit quite nicely into that category.
