With due respect, I've read a lot of interviews with successful musicians over the years, and every one of them -- except for the female musicians -- including Duke Ellington, said they got into music for the same reason: to get girls. Not food. Girls.
Keep harping, you're one of the very good ones. JoJo
I grant that you're more likely to find girls almost anywhere other than
a coal mine, and the theory above is certainly entertaining.
