“Music is one of the professions or hobbies that can stay with you for your whole life. In sports, you reach a certain age when you can no longer do them, but in music, you can do it the rest of your life. And it’s great enjoyment, and it’s well worth all the effort you put into it to become proficient on your instrument, and now there are a lot of adult groups around the United States where you can keep performing, and you don’t have to quit when you get out of college.”
                         (W. Francis McBeth)
