Re: request for advise

Thanks Jessie, Janeen and Lynn who wrote in with advice.  Lynn, I think you
solved something for me.  I started out in high school as a violinist and
was "supposed" to go to Conservartory (got into Peabody).  Fortunately, I
realized I didn't have the emotional strength or maturity at the time for a
career as a professional musician. I couldn't deal with the stress.  Some
scars from that time remain, but I hope I'm mature enough now.  Emily
