Audi,
Not all of us here are professionals. We are brought together by a love of music. I too was hesitant to join but since doing so I have been made to feel welcome and finally got to meet fellow 'Catters at the sing in Portland last week.
I sing because it makes me feel good. I suppose that's the reason we all do. I tip my hat to those who can make a living doing what they love. I myself am a coward but as the song goes "All God's creatures got a place in the choir."
