my relationship with music (50 years) was like a marriage gone bad. at the end of my professional career i was losing my "passion" of music. i was no longer thrilled by a new music,new places to play, even a new keyboard(and i had them all). my health has forced my to quit playing 7 years ago. i wasn't happy, i wanted to make just alitle bit more money before i packed it in. now i go to concerts, music stores etc. , and just smile. after all the glitz and glitter of showbiz, when my 8 year old grandaughter ask me to let her hold a violin .she was thrilled with the first note she played. i realized that the music will continue. life after music is not so scary.
