Do you play piano?

Gregor, I am speaking as someone who does play and was one 
of those 'not quite successful enough' people who attempted 
to make a living playing for my supper.

I have heard this analogy, and for the most part, I agree 
with it:

 >An airplane mechanic might know how to fix the plane, but 
not know how to fly it..and vice versa.<

I believe I have only met one person in this field who is 
not musically inclined who found this field after 
retirement. Everyone else I have met has some musical 
background, or has demonstrated musical interested 
somewhere other than a piano.

This field lends itself to those who prefer to work alone, 
and I think that has a draw to some people. Also, once you 
get proficient, you can make a decent living in this field.

That's incentive enough for most.

I look forward to those on this list who you seek out.
