Selfish

Regarding my last post about singing.  Most of my current interest in music is completely and utterly selfish.  I don't listen much to other people's music.  My music teachers would be appalled to know how little I listen to music.  And yet, I try to write music.  Why so little interest in other people's music and interest only in my own.  It isn't even that I think my music is so good.  I know, in many respects, the music of mine that people have actually liked is mediocre.  Especially the music part.  The part people seem to like best is the story-telling part.  But I seem to be mostly interested in my own stories - and not anyone else's.  It is selfish, self-indulgent, and self-absorbed. 

Sigh.
