When music's all that said and done from dusk till dawn it can lose it's sparkle.  A childhood acquaintance caught me on facebook, asking, "Are you still in love with music?"  Well, we hang out...hold hands sometimes.

Less fervor, more practicality? Less zealotry, more honesty; less sweating, more sensibility?  The honeymoon begin over, the real work begins; a good day being when I revise one bar instead of writing two more?  The long view?
