Wisco,

Sorry if you object...but you DO seem to fit my categories. And to a certain degree I can sympathize. I'm not old enough to retire, and I have a lot of creative life ahead of me, but I'm with you in your frustrations on the monetary aspects of the scene (I think it hits me harder than you, by the way..and I'm a man with a wife and kids)...but for better or for worse I'm a musician: I'm going to make my way through this world as a musician whether it pays as well as it used to or not, and as such I have to accept the challenges in front of me.

If you've checked out of the scene because you don't think it's worth it anymore, that's your choice. But don't say the music is dead simply because you no longer feel it's worth your time and energy. I know a lot of excellent musicians, of integrity, who come from your era too--and they're not too proud or angry to still play. For that I'm grateful.

As for racing to the bottom, I don't see it--I see a lot of us not being properly appreciated or compensated, but no race to the bottom artistically. And I've got to say, cynical voices don't help, man. Why not be encouraging to those of us doing good work? You DO love this music, don't you? Let's stay supportive of each other and the music.

Eric
