Principal clarinet of the Nashville Symphony.
This is Music City.
And a position like that can lead to jobs in academia, in recording studios.
This is no small potatoes.
This is not a hobby.
This is not something that people do outside of their regular job for fun.
This is a career.
The stakes were high, and I thought, this guy had enough talent, but he was just broken-brained.
