Thanks for a fantastic quote

Baldy THIS!

-------------------

Only in this era of competitive TV shows is creating music only reserved for the professionals. Since the dawn of time, humans have been creating and sharing music for their own enjoyment. I grew up around bluegrass where everyone came to the potluck with a song, not necessarily a great voice or performance. Every song contribution was like a dish of food at the potluck - welcomed!

It is a gift to play music for Kurt Vonnegut reasons, and a gift to others when you share it, regardless of whether it qualifies for one of the awful TV shows.
