There is one question I've pained to ask, and I know that I am not the only one to have asked this question. People have asked this either to me, or in my presence.
There is always a demand for music and all types of art forms which tell a story, which inspire, which make people think, which make people cry. There is always a demand for art which lifts the soul, pierces the heavens and people's hearts.
Which leads me to the question -- why are there so few people willing to undertake the task, in proportion to the amount of musicians out there? I mean, realistically, when I look at how many people say that their hearts are stirred to make music, I would estimate it at probably 3 out of 1000 (that number might be more or even far less in certain areas, but you get the drift).
I ask this because the questions thrown at me have all been of the same nature. It seems as though there is a void to fill.

I think it's mainly because of everyone and their brother on here thinking that they can be an artist (like all the good ones that actually are). I know I don't produce much of anything worthwhile. Why not?
Well, for starters, I'm very--VERY ill-practiced at most every art form that does exist. I can catch on easy; learning is a talent of mine, but it is a learning based on precocity and self-experimenting experience, not one from an in-depth and comprehensive environment. That, and my standards for my art are too goddamn high. I really need to fix that problem.
Sure, I'd love to do more. I'd also love to have the knowledge of how to use all my tools. But that, since there isn't an environment that I can learn in other than experience, will all only chalk up to experimentation, an exercise that I have zero patience for.
