I retired from big industry but before that was a teacher.

After I retired, I started to get calls to be a fill in teacher again.

So for the last 10 years or so, I have been filling in for teachers in the school district here.

The place I substitute teach the most is alternative school. It's a school for kids that have not done so well in the regular school environment for educational or behavioral reasons....mostly behavior issues.

In any case, it's a fun place for me to share music because a lot of the kids in this school will play instruments to 'cool down' and take the stress out of their daily lives. And it's fun for me to share in that with them.

How about the rest of you? Are you all professional musicians? Or do you do other things to make some $$$ or to 'entertain' so to speak?
