… with David DGM just arrived & waiting inside for our 11.00 meeting with three UMG persons. They seemed quite decent. None of them has a sufficient paygrade to agree to any agreement, but one has enough clout that their recommendations are likely to be accepted. This is a company person, seemingly a straightforward company person, beginning their contribution with an apology for the delay. This did not translate into an immediate readiness to pay interest on the late period.

Even basically decent people, they do not see, and/or choose not to see, the music that is not composed, the students whose concerns are not addressed, the filing & organizing that is not, the time the Wife does not see her husband, the sheer distress & distraction caused, once again, through seeking to be paid for work discharged years ago.

The concern of the musician is music. The first aim: to be available when Music flies by, to clothe it in sound, bring this Impulse within auditory range & place an ongoing creative moment within the time stream. The second aim: to be Silent. The first is doing something; the second is Doing Nothing.

The concern of the professional musician is business. The first aim: to get work. The second aim: to get paid for that work. Sometimes, the first aim can be realised. The second aim is probably unattainable in this world.

Off to Bredonborough.

21.32    Home & practicing & e-flurrying.
