@tgraph52 No disrespect! Yours is an absolutely appropriate perspective. I think musicking is for everyone to do (I spent 25+ directing amateur choirs, and teach ~45 students a week). I was more addressing the "I'm being driven from music" posts out there - if you can survive doing something else, please do, and please enjoy making music, as well. But some cannot survive without music at the center (when I thought I had to try, it didn't go well....).

Okay, here's the hot, probably unpopular, certain to rile somebody, take:
There is a difference between someone with talent, skill and love for music and someone who has been called by music. The former will do their best to make a life with music, but if success doesn't come, will walk away. The latter will find a way to make some kind of music-centered life, regardless of income level or "success."

A lot of babble on various socials about throwing up hands and walking away. Some of us can't.

@voltronic I am one such, and oh, boy, I try to avoid solfege arguments (but I quietly side with La...).
There are, of course, other ongoing arguments I'm probably way too happy to wade into....

@Charles_Hawtrey did you see Fran's video about buying an old Tascam digital deck (I actually still use the same model 😳) and finding old Tom Petty demos on the hard drive?

I still like "Incel Camino," but this is pretty good (via itsi.janeakelly on Threads):

Has Warm Audio become a Texas version of Behringer?

@Jorro HS would do better at protecting the lower back, so no.
