But you know the joke....<br /><br />"What can you do with a Masters in flute performance?" <br /><br />"Waitress!" I was most unhappy. <br /><br />Later, I discovered that I could get paid to obsess about politics, and even better yet, politics, schools, and LGBT issues. So, for me it was a happy change in careers. <br /><br />That said, having a music background has been very handy in analyzing the political realm because of all of the symbolic politics involved. <br /><br />Change in topic: You're spot on about how singing should be part of everyone's life. I started singing in a church choir at age 4 (the Baptists will do that). Today, many, many years later, I'm still singing in a church choir although I'm an agnostic theologically. It's just something I've always done. I am greatly saddened that more kids don't have an opportunity to literally "sing across their lifespan." It's been an incredible journey....calugghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08181162384964123706noreply@blogger.com
