<BR>I'm glad your brother makes $100,000. But making a lot of money is not what differentiates between what we do and what he does. I am not discounting those professions. They are important, and I am sure most of them do make more money than piano tuners. But I don't think a plumber, much less an auto mechanic, in his/her work clothes, will be allowed in the living room, or on the concert stage.
