"in b4 merge..."

I play music for a living. Have for a long time. I did a small, humorous stint as a "poker pro", lasted about 1 1/2 years. I was still playing music and didnt pay bills with poker.

So I played music - which I am good at.

Should anyone who is perusing a career in music become rich and successful??

Innocent young people were attracted to the music lifestyle, but many were not ready to accept what it takes to live like this, in a professional sense.

Most lost money. The advertising industry was borderline irresponsible for the way they marketed the music industry. EVERYONE thought they could play a bit of this or that (Guitar, Sax, Piano, Sing....w/e) and be able to make a great living, like, be a STAR..... Some players went broke..... The industry made players believe they could be the next star.................

It was always beyond my understanding why ANYONE who simply owned a musical instrument and played could not lead a luxurious lifestyle................

Even if they were only mediocre.....

OP, Did I get it right????
