i'm actually not complaining bout a personal lack of success; i
consider myself adequately successful on my own terms: decently
respected by plenty of people.

i'm fortunate enough to have skills besides musicianship that ARE
highly valued in our society, so i am not hurting for income. some
people don't have such skills, they are "only" very talented
musicians, and they are hurting a lot.

i'm also fortunate enough to have the skills and resources to make
perfectly great-sounding recordings at home. again, many people do
not, despite the sale of lots and lots of "budget-pro" equipment.
