I really appreciate all of the feedback people have sent in (both in comment and e-mail form) on my latest installment in my Road Warrior Without an Expense Account series. Although the subject matter can be somewhat depressing, I think that it is important material for musicians to reflect upon (whether or not they have full-time orchestral positions), and I definitely appreciate the response.
