 "You're Never Going to Make It"
By Velma the Fischwire

Last week I was playing at a coffee house, and during a break, a man came up to me and introduced himself as a talent scout. He went on to say "I know talent, and frankly I hate to say it but you are lacking in several areas. You should quit singing and get a professional, and maybe take a few more years of lessons. Cause the way you are now, you're never going to make it."

I looked at him and smiled, then replied, "Make it where?"

He just shrugged and walked off. I guess he doesn't actually play music, just looks for others to do it.
