I stumbled on this short blog a while back and was intrigued by the author’s comments. His precursory comments captured a view that many people have of symphony musicians.

I vaguely knew of one of the horn players in the Pittsburgh Symphony, who lived in the town that I did. My memory of him is wearing all black, brooding, chainsmoking. I also met some other “professionals” whose demeanor kind of soured me on music as a potential career path. As much as I may have been already, I didn’t want to end up like them.

The author – John Linko – continues his commentary in Barry Tuckwell in Grand Junction.
