Exactly what breaks did I get? I'd sure like to know.

Did I get a break due to years of 8+ hours a day of practice? Did I get a break from a University education or the additional music school eduction after that? Did I get a break from going to music conferences where I was networking? Did I get a break from playing crap gigs in bars? Did I get a break from going on the road on my own dime? Did I get a break learning to use recording gear? Did I get a break in learning the business?

I work my ass off. I hone my abilities. I get things done. People that know me, know this about me.

I stand by my statement that anyone can make music for a living. I feel like only people that say you can't make it are the ones holding someone back, whether it's due to a failed dream or some other negative energy or a lazy work ethic. It's true this business can chew people up and spit them out. But that doesn't mean one can't navigate it and transcend.

Time for some more food, then I'm out to enjoy another group of artist's creativity for a change via a movie.
