Many of my then fellow musicians have gone on to have wonderful careers and I envy that. BUT, it is a lot of work, and I don't envy that.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052375488090209961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963973022593930704.post-49721949400561767562022-02-23T09:04:15.240-08:002022-02-23T09:04:15.240-08:00It is wonderful to attend a school where one feels...It is wonderful to attend a school where one feels they can express and be who they are becoming.

It was always summed up for me by a lyric from the Incredible String Band "Down gallons of glandular corridors of the dark castle the pompous old bellman is ringing his bell"! All the masters (teachers) had been through WWII and it left its mark on them - some were determined to enforce army discipline, some had sought refuge in the bottle but were tolerated because everyone knew what they had been through, and a few were determined that there should never be another war and taught us about Allen Ginsberg, Salvador Dali and satirical comedy.
