Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

March 5, 2009 | Bad economy? Do what you love.

Gotta love a good story in "depressing" times, and CNN reporter Stephanie Chen nails it with her February 24th article "Bad economy? Do what you love." Chen documents several individuals who have lost their jobs and gone on to more satisfying opportunities, including 55 year-old Jim Penson of Arlington, Texas who went from a cubicle life in the information technology field to offering banjo and mandolin lessons with his own teaching business.

Some are finding, despite a pay cut, a more satisfying lifestyle can be out there. Sometimes it take a sour economy or a lay-off to find that out.
