The artistic life is a hard one

I hardly know where to start with this post.  Music is wonderful and painful at the same time, especially when we see our children struggling to live up to what they see as their ideals.

The best we can hope for is that we can transport those who come to listen to us to a place they would otherwise not have been able to go.  Sadly, we will probably never know the effect we’ve had on others.

It’s so hard to get beyond our own perceived failings and accept what others see in us.
