[Fmpro] Quote I read today

[Christopher Alpiar]

Yea Les but let's not forget WHY we are doing this while we try and  
figure out HOW to make and keep making a living from our craft. Its so  
easy to be swept up into forgetting about why you want to make music  
in the first place. That's all I am saying.

And of course HRMQE thinks her soul is worth more than a lowly serf of  
a peasant, she is just a silly old coot with a warped perception as  
romantic a notion as noble heritage is.

Never mix emotion with business. Always mix it when creating art. Take  
lithium and figure out how to do both ;-)
