How many are giving lessons? How many are still planning for a solo career? What is the combined value of all the instruments on stage - this goes up when harps and grand pianos are involved, of course.<br />I shall look at them through different, more knowing eyes now, thanks to you:-)jabbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176958811589489979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1294026230680025155.post-47736610344576329512011-05-29T19:10:56.596+01:002011-05-29T19:10:56.596+01:00Having had peeks into a musician's life I know...Having had peeks into a musician's life I know it is not as glamourous as it would appear to others.
