confused romantist?

Question

My friend Joe is jazz pianist , he often plays in a local bar.

he cant earn a lot of money. he is a little bit depressed.

Here s dialogue between me and him.

he told once" I love music through playing piano I feel free and happiness.but if I only play piano how can I support my wife and children, maybe I v got to find another job or something."

" you are not married , no child, why worry? "

" yeah but who wants to marry the poor local pianist, I alone manage to live myself but its not enough. you know Jenny up to now I cant propose her"

so I am thinking to open a small store "

" GEE, you are not for it. you are a born romantist. I am worried. may be you cant find the time for piano"

" exactly, I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I d better live poor doing what I love maybe I can get two rabbits?"

your opinions plz?

Answer 1

I don't quite understand why Joe, the jazz pianist cannot earn a lot of money. Perhaps Joe is not "selling" himself or not in the right venue - if the market is buying, he has to be in that place to sell himself. It did not sound like he was a romanticist, just lonely. If he likes Jenny, the two of them can earn wages and combine it to make a comfy lifestyle they both like - doesn't take millions of dollars to do that. When you are with the one you love, it doesn't matter - there's always time for the piano; you can make it work - just don't ever give up!
