[Fmpro] Composer's sidelife out of film

[BVMedia-A d r i e l]

If you're talking writing 'hit' song (i,e. with lyrics) a composer can not
necessarily do it well nor out do a song writer.

Either CAN cross over into the other domain but, there is a specialization
to each and a mastery of one definitely does not denote a mastery of the
other.
