Singers and Musicians
by David
Ackert, LA Times
"Singers
and Musicians are some of the most driven, courageous
people on the face of the earth. They deal with more
day-to-day rejection in one year than most people do
in a lifetime. Every day, they face the financial challenge
of living a freelance lifestyle, the disrespect of people
who think they should get real jobs, and their own fear
that they'll never work again.
Every day, they have to
ig...nore the possibility that the vision they have dedicated
their lives to is a pipe dream. With every note, they
stretch themselves, emotionally and physically, risking
criticism and judgment. With every passing year, many
of them watch as the other people their age achieve the
predictable milestones of normal life - the car, the
family, the house, the nest egg.

musicians
and singers are willing to give their entire lives
 |
Why? Because musicians
and singers are willing to give their entire lives to a
moment - to that melody, that lyric, that chord, or that
interpretation that will stir the audience's soul.
Singers and Musicians
are beings who have tasted life's nectar in that crystal
moment when they poured out their creative spirit and touched
another's heart. In that instant, they were as close to
magic, God, and perfection as anyone could ever be. And
in their own hearts, they know that to dedicate oneself
to that moment is worth a thousand lifetimes.” |
