Here, here, Anne!
I am no longer surprised when I meet medico's and scientists who are
semi-professional musicians/artists on the side. It is a very common
occurrence.
Last week for instance, I met someone last week who gave up being a
neuro-scientist to become a jazz saxophonist.
He says its harder being a musician because the work is not as guarranteed
and he's lost the instant acceptance and respect he had as a scientist. Its
funny how society thinks differently about two fields of creativity...
....just my 2 cents worth.
