 Re: Realizing when you won't go pro

This week one of the nicest remarks ever was made to me, after playing in a quintet:

Didn't you ever wanted to become a pro ?

the answer : yes, manyvmany (over 20) years ago for a short while, but ...

at the end I took a different direction (software, compressors,...) and I'm very happy with this.

I have a nice job, and the best hobby one can imagine. for this hobby I go as far as I can, and yes a professional level education would be nice, but not really possible.

Sometimes you can be a 'pro' without doing 'it' for money. Enjoy the music as much as you can, from what I read on this forum, music isn't the easiest way to earn a living in the US (here it is either).

That's no reason to quit having fun with music. Maybe the best amateur has more fun with music then a 'pro' ;-)
