Re: [Harp-L] Reality check?

[IcemanLE@xxxxxxx]

Front line might be considered anyone who is serious about this instrument  
(teaching, performing, customizing, etc), making a living or going for it in  
order to make a living, as well as those who treat their hobby  seriously. You 
don't have to travel overseas to be on the front line.
 
Those considered successful may venture into this discussion in order to  
give their view/experiences and help enlighten those who are interested. It  may 
help those attempting to become more successful.
 
For instance, the comment on socialized health care as a consideration and  
playing overseas offering more opportunities was very interesting and no doubt  
useful information.
 
The "L" allows all levels to interact with each other. The general question  
is a valid one. How are the realities of the world economy impacting what you 
do  and your ability to generate income while doing it?

I (my  opinion) think that the only ones who can give you a   
definitive  answer to your queries are those who are able to  actually  
travel overseas. Anyone whom can do that can be  considered  
successful. Problem is, I don't see why they would  venture into this   
discussion.
