Frustrated musicians

At this evening's music seminar for our parish's choir members, I met someone who had similar dreams of pursuing music as a career but never had the means or opportunity to do so. While he went on to be a medical doctor, he continued to join choirs in order to fulfill a need to keep music in his life. I on the other hand was likewise lucky enough to be asked to be piano accompanist to a number of choirs and, as I realized lately, took out my frustrations by maintaining a growing collection of CDs (mostly classical, of course), purchasing and downloading piano sheet music to learn on my own, attending concerts and piano masterclasses whenever I could afford to (this was mainly when I was in Singapore) and getting myself my precious Yamaha P-80.
