Title: RE: MOST SOUND MEN ARE....

** ya know  . . . it was just pointing out the fact that the sound people that are being discussed  - - and dissed - - may be players whose day job is doing sound. someone else called them "failed musicians" and i pointed out that many people here could be considered to be failed by similar criteria.

i have a day job and don't consider failed myself, ya know? so why would i consider ives to be "failed"  - - or mussorgsky, or myriad other people who have had families and day jobs AND did music.

(for that matter, most musicians who play for a living ARE doing a day job, they're not doing THEIR music, they're doing someone else's. some teach or write about music, it's all cool by me.)

the short answer: NO

stig

would you consider Charles Ives a "failed musician" then?
