The Musician, Defined
2011 March 11
A musician [myoo-zish-uhn] n.
1. an independent business owner: lyrics are his (and her) testimony; press kits his resumes; the songs his experiences; calls for gigs, the continual “job search”; a merch table his brick and mortar; one who lives the road life or death of a salesman.
2. an artist, one who puts his blood and soul into his work; one who is humble; thanks every person who gives his music a chance; recognizes there is no performance without an audience; appreciates criticism; savors compliments.
3. one who would do this thing called music for free, but must make a living at it; treats his instruments like his appendages; faces his mistakes with fearlessness; finds continual inspiration in the support of those most close to him.
