Well I come from a family of artists that "failed" for one reason or another.

I also know a few musicians. There is an expression that goes "don't quit your day job". To be a good, successful artist you almost have to have the support of your family. Or a way of making money that allows you to have flexible hours.

I've seen some sad crash landings and every once in a while get the tragic story of some poor fool who went to New York (where I'm from) thinking they could make it and ended up starving or worse.

Sorry to be so morbid. It takes a lot of planning.

I wish you the best of success.
