Then you don't understand the work. That's a bit like saying that
professional musicians can't possibly enjoy playing music at home after
doing
it at work.

They practice at home.

They also play the stuff they want to play.

When you get paid you play what they pay you for.

They may not be the same thing.

Top level pianists will generally play what they want, or in some cases
give a selection of what they want to play, and the promoters can
choose.

And how many of those are there?

Two dozen?

It's standard practise for concert pianists on the international stage,
of which there are hundreds- you don't know what you're talking about
here, I'm afraid.

I must say that surprised me, I started counting with Liberace and Winifred
Atwell then got stuck. Theres also jazz of course, where you probably
always choose what you play, even down to the notes!

Very true.

The world of professional players of classical music is closed to me.

I have two friends who are very skilled and talented, but neither can make
a living playing.

One has a family and refuses to travel, the other has cerebral palsy and is
in a wheel chair and so can't get down into an orchestra pit and so is
essentially unemployable in that field.

Both play professionally, both have other jobs.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

I'm surprised he can play at all, i have a acquaintance who has that and
hillwalks as a hobby, valiantly, successfully and badly. I cant imagine he
could play an instrument, but I suspect it effects differently?

There isn't a lot of enforcement at the private-pilot level.

Grade 8 plus recital thingy.

Her speech is slurred and she can't use her legs but she's played at the
Festival Hall.

Does he post in groups like that?!

I'm afraid so. Or at least he did.

Oh, dear. What does he think of 7-year olds being breast-fed?


Mixi is still being breast-fed.

Mixi, ever the dumb ****, has never been at a GA airport when the FAA is
going around doing ramp checks.
