Philippine musicians find great time sharing the best they can, performing what is popular for weddings when requested aiming solely to entertain and doing wedding music that is pertinent to an event.
A modest music ensemble is good enough to provide a cut above the rest music around and so doing is an assessment how good Pinoy musicians are - no rehearsals, just a piece of note and good sound system match world class act.
A true talent needs to be shared an d when the well-timed moment comes requires involvement. The monetary angle is secondhand but sad to say, most musicians look on the sign more than sharing the gift. Yes, it is needed, but there are times when musicians compromise and generous enough to forego the thought and just share artistry.
What matters is the immeasurable connection and satisfaction derived from a performance. And that makes God smile.
