L3. 900th entry if i counted right Likewise there does not seem to be such a profession as singing. I once counted what i could earn by composing if i were successful and it was about 10 euros per year while the starting fee was over 100 euros. So since for a singer and a band there are travel costs and costs of living, it appears that one rarely can earn a living by music, except by teaching music or selling instruments in a good quality way. As younger that the best singers get to sing in concerts and on CDs. But later i have lasrned that there is a demand for different kinds of singers, each group wanting their own type of person or their own type of wisdom of life as a singer. So the questionnis do you have such groups which like you as a singer, and not who is the best on some fixed scale. "

L12. 27th of April 2022 Music too one can make for free, either make videos to
www.youtube.com or write music that one has composed or arranged and put the note to a free blog or homepage. It is rare that someone could earn by making music. It would demand a performance loved by very many. But are your songs liked so very much? I would have liked to become a professional singer who also dances. But people are not interested in me singing. When i over 12 years ago somehow came to sing familiar songs and put them on youtube.com , most songs begun by me singing but very soon listeners got tired of me and there came voices of people and animals i know, some others too, singing the same song just somehow when not in the mood for singing, and listeners valued them more and never returned to me singing. At first i thought it sabotage but now that i have written a lot i guess that publicity just has some such spiritual side, some things are just asked for, not always the best but there is the demand for them, while others are left without such publicity.
L13. As a child i learned a lot almost completely on my own about the professions that i aimed at, the first was an emperor and the second a singer-songmaker. I did not learn exactly the professional skills of those but instead all kinds of skills that would have been good to know and for which my environment gave concentration into. The trick was that choose the versions of a job that is along all the wisdom that you have heard, of which you have some glimpse, and then the pieces of wisdom will support each other and life will run well along those lines, an ordinary life suited for many so that it is ok also in publicity.

13th of March 2024 An original idea or a piece of art is very different from a job bringing them to the general public. Like for example postcards from a postcard seller somewhere. If the painter would oneself sell them, the people would like to hear and see the painter's view, yet kind of speak or shout their own views on top of it. While a postcard seller just has many nice postcards and each buyer their own likings and views of them and the areas of life at hand. So always or just about always, it is much better if the public performance is by some worker hired for the job or the like, like someone keeping a course, open to the views and wishes of the students, not being personally tied to the individual pieces of art, ideas or whatever, yet respecting the values of that area of life.
