   Levels of musicians are too bizarre for me to consider in those terms.   
   Rather, it's more a matter of so many 'levels' and such enormous variations   
   between and within them as to rightly defy trying to 'pigeonhole' them in   
   anything but the most general of terms, at best, if even that.   
      
   While I certainly can't, or would even want to speak for anyone else, to me,   
   it's more than clear that Motives, pure or otherwise, are THE *PRIMARY*   
   Factor for Choosing to get involved in anything, including Music.   
      
   In other words, it all comes down to a matter of reason(s) WHY one wants to   
   get into Music, and it's that which determines the course to be pursued.   
   Many, particularly nowadays, with NON-Thinking being the national pastime,   
   simply drift about, often amilessly, going with whatever 'flow' they may   
   encounter...but there are those, like myself, who Know what we're after and   
   Focus on that Objective.   
      
   I even wrote a song about it on the Ignite The Sky Album:   
      
   9. Go For It   
      
   verse1   
   couldn't wait around any longer hopin' somethin'll happen   
   just watchin' the years go by   
   cause life's for livin' not for just so much more lazy nappin'   
   originality deserves a try   
   for a shot at the prize slipping further away   
   a last hope for success that it comes back to stay   
   what we've been missing so long once more with us every day   
   time to say   
      
   chorus1   
   I wanna live a life that's there for the taking   
   see just how far and high we really can go   
   on a path to get there of our very own making   
   like they did it so long ago   
   and everybody digging the show   
      
   verse2   
   there's no second chance to make a good first impression   
   each and every time   
   dedication must always be a deep obsession   
   'cause something less would seem like a crime   
   and there's so much to do but only if it's done right   
   to make it all the way through the darkness into the light   
   and make a difference profoundly as are day and night   
   as we set our sights   
      
   chorus2   
   on the way out of all the tiresome madness   
   and on to fresh ideas shiny and new   
   to get away from unimag'native sadness   
   and make an exciting debut   
   so many decades long overdue   
      
   bridge   
   and so anxiously hoped for by those who remember   
   for a blaze to start anew from a glowing ember   
      
   verse3   
   there's not much time left to embark upon this expedition   
   if we're to meet with success   
   and reverse the growing pattern of decomposition   
   for the state of the art to progress   
   back to where it should be and onward from there   
   to make history and be heard everywhere   
   the reward for taking the chance if we dare   
   take to the air!   
      
   chorus3   
   leave the ground and climb into the blue yonder   
   where everything is so much brighter and clear   
   delight in all of the magnificent wonder   
   of an awesomely amazing frontier   
      
   and be a part of the next revolution   
   light up a star with our name out in space   
   implement a long awaited solution   
   and fly in the establishment's face   
   til everything's again back in place   
      
   Ouisie
