Someone called me a musician last night. I don't feel like a musician, I feel like a ukulele player.
Iowa, and I think that the person was using it as a lead in to tell me that they too were a musician. When it was all said and done they talked more about their musicianship than mine. But it got me thinking about it, and when I rolled it around in my head I didn't think that the label fit me. I felt that it put a lot of pressure on me. Obviously it didn't bother the person who talked to me because they made it clear that they wanted to be identified as a musician and we therefore had some sort of kindred spirit. But I guess that because I wanted to distance myself from the label I did not feel the connection. It was just interesting and I thought that we might talk about it. I haven't bought a new ukulele recently, so I thought that it might be something different to talk about.You definitely must have been doing something right! �� Was this in Iowa or Puerto Rico?
Well, a ukulele is a musical instrument and I do not in any way want to diminish it as such, but is everyone who plays a musical instrument a musician? I feel more comfortable identifying myself as a guy who plays the ukulele. Musician goes way beyond what I'm doing. That is just my take on it. Others my differ. That is why I brought it up though, so we can mull it over.Obviously, someone mistook the ukulele for a musical instrument.
That is so true. A few years ago I said something to a fellow that he took personally and it infuriated him so that called me bald. That was the best he could do. I feigned a level of offense to it that I hoped would assuage his anger. I suppose being called bald is worse than being called a musician.Don't worry too much Rllink, I've been called far worse!
