We have a wonderful friend, who has been a musician all her life, and is the child of musicians. She's never known another life except for a stint at uni and a nearly complete degree.
In this country, which borders another HUGE country, with an over-powering culture, music is a tough business. We don't necessarily honour our musicians until they make it somewhere else - usually that much larger country. It can be a long, arduous trajectory to make money at all, and to carve out a place in the industry here.
Our friend has a Juno under her belt and several amazing albums. We've watched in amazement as she tours all over the world for months at a time.
I travelled with her twice, and only for three days and five days at a time, and I was exhausted. I don't know how she does it, but she does and she does it very well.
