Though a membership requirement ought to be that you actually make your notional living at it.For instance, I played eight notional ballets last week, taught several notional students, and shipped two sets of notional program notes to the notional Pittsburgh Symphony (along with four notional sidebars), a set to the notional Boston Conservatory, and three more to other notional clients.
Meanwhile, I'll bet you played a few notional gigs and did the grunt work getting your notional CD (on which you were the notional composer, arranger, and bandleader, not to mention the occasional notional alto soloist) out and heard, among other notional things.
I believe that one of our by-laws ought to be that we can only make our notional judgments about other musicians' worth by evaluating their internet postings. Why listen? That would be as stupid as, say, evaluating audio devices by their sound!
Another would be that we should take EVERYTHING personally while expecting everyone else to have a thick skin.
I'm not sure we could force members to archive every notionally contrary internet posting for future use, however; even notional musicians (sometimes) have notional lives.
I refuse to be president, however. Thanks anyway. There's only so much notional time for this notional sh!t.
