re:Musician's Handbook--full time or part time

[randysinger <randy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

HI WILL,

great question, hopefully easily answered.

Don't see becoming a full time musician as your only goal if you have 
big responsibilities at home.

Instead, just hone your skills and adapt them to the marketplace and 
EASE into it. Think of it as a transition. Don't abandon your security 
but blend it with being a musician. You can always adjust your ratio of 
musician to teacher as needed.

Lots of full time musicians coexist peacefully with their non musician 
alter egos.

prosper,

randy
