Sneakin' it under the radar

Nugget of pure gold from the standing-around-the-kitchen conversation at last night's going-away party for a senior student:

Yeah, it's a drag the way we get paid--shit money, but still paid--to think and talk and read and write about and play music, right?

Shhhh!!!!...don't tell anybody!

There it is. That's why we do what we do.

I'd trade those nights with Dean Magraw and Moving Hearts and Jaco Pastorius and Robin Williamson and Alec Finn and all the rest of them, any day or week or year or decade, for all the goddamned money in the world.

Money is overrated, anyway.
