What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you?

Music can be a solitary act of attention ...

It can be also be  a collective playing communication ...

A friend musician once said to me that some pro musicians do it as a job...

 We are all different..

The definition of "pro musician" is somebody who does that as a job. I've been a "pro musician" since the 60s, somewhat retired, and I now have piles of instruments to keep me company. By the way, my favorite music is jazz that I do not play (somewhat unqualified), but can pretend to play...play along with things as I have a guitar amp near my primary rig...I learn a new chord nearly every year.

A musician has a great advantage,when music did speak to him no more, he can speak to music himself.

Hi there… I can’t play a note but got the music gene from my mother who sang and played the piano. My stepdad was a jazz musician so I got early exposure to jazz which is still my favorite….

I got the notification that I had been mentioned in this thread, and interestingly the notification was sent 5 times in a row. I guess somebody sat on their keyboard.
