[Cynnabar] Generalist Events vs. Niche Events or Opening the Can of Worms

[Carol Perry Lagemann]

In short... yes.  :D  I love playing music.  I am more than happy to pay to
have the chance to play with other talented musicians.  I learn a lot, and
there's nothing I'd rather be doing.  Even though dance music isn't my
favorite kind of music, it's still fun.  I would spend the entire day doing
nothing but playing music, if I could.

That said, I can only speak for myself, and I know it would be hard if I
liked dancing as much or more than playing music.  I'm not sure if there are
enough people like me--people who would rather play than dance--who are
available and willing to rehearse.

Much has already been said on this topic, so I can have little to add.
 However, as far as my *personal *preferences go, I don't mind paying to
work at Terp--I'm doing what I'm good at and what I love!
