way too many links - part one - music

1. An interesting article on "How to make a living playing music." I like this quote:

keep your art the main focus. it isn't about you it's about your art. do what's good for your art and don't draw attention to yourself as much as the art. if your main focus is on the art, waiting tables is no big deal because you are doing it to support your art. if your main focus is you, you are not going to like waiting tables. you will feel like you are way too good for that.

2. Matt Maher does an exegesis on his new album.

3. Sadly, the FIF DVD will be delayed, says Reese Roper's mustache.

5. Bear McCreary continues to provide great music.
