Hey Jody! Yeah, the old clich I make my own luck. No sure what it means. I imagine it means developing ones talent and taking care of the business side of ones career. Im sure theres thousands of musicians/ composers that fall in that category that have never had any Industry success. Ill never be convinced that I havent been lucky. Lucky to have a family that supported my dreams, lucky that Ive had wonderful teachers, lucky that I chose the publishers I use, lucky to have my health, lucky to have deep feelings for music, lucky to have a functional brain (no comments here please), etc. Whether we choose to use the term or not, luck does exist. And I know musicians that have been terribly unlucky. Now with a little luck Ill live long enough to compose many more compositions. Best, John  P.S. Oh, and lucky to meet my wife of almost 50 years at one of the clubs I was playing. Whew, I almost forgot that one.

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
