Caaron, you have misunderstood nearly the entirety of my post.


Sorry if I did.

I still feel a bit like you are trying to explain to me how Taxi works. I think we just have different views of how it works. I believe your view, according to Taxi, and your friend is correct.

I just have a different view of it is all.

I sort of felt the passion part about your friend coming from a mile a way. I almost stated it before you even mentioned it. I feel a lot of people live there.

IMO there are the...

starving artists

thriving artists

and those who have to support their habit. lol

Believe it or not, I live by a school that has a teacher who retired early from his former job. As stated, he now teaches. He doesn't do it for the money; he does it because it's his passion. That's not someone just saying that either!

I find a lot of people who "don't do their jobs for the money", still collect a paycheck! If that job ends, so does the love affair!

This guy actually works tirelessly. He is there HOURS before the other teachers, and is there many times hours after. Weekends...you name it.

Here is the kicker. He draws NO pay for teaching what-so-ever! In fact, he actually donates A LOT to the computer lab at school both time and financially.

I'm not saying that's the norm, or that most people could ever do that. I'm just saying, I believe THAT guy is really in it because he has a real love for teaching. There is no secondary gain.

Perhaps your friend is similar, in that, it's the reason he writes music? I don't know.

I do know this, if you really love music, and are committed to making a living doing it, you can. There are people on the forum that do that.

So, I will end with this an bow out of the conversation.

All of those who want to stick with or go with Taxi, go for it. If you want my take on it, feel free to PM me. It's not a negative take. As I stated, there are many great tools/resources there.

I hope to see you on the charts, or placed! That would be an awesome thing to celebrate! (To be clear, there is no sarcasm meant here. Seriously, how great would that be able to say "Hey! I know that person")
