Born To Be A Minstrel, A Bard

May 22nd, 2002 § 1

It has often occurred to me that if I had been born 3 or 4 hun­dred years ago, I would have made some vil­lage, town or per­haps even county a decent min­strel, bard or sto­ry­teller. When all one had to com­pete with were other local artists, there was room for all to choose their art as a career. Now, how­ever, that one need com­pete on a global scale if one wants to make a liv­ing at any art, per­for­mance or oth­er­wise, it is nearly impos­si­ble for the only-above-mediocre to have a snowball’s chance in hell at mak­ing it.
