OT: So You Want to Be Musician, Huh?

This is getting a lot of traffic on my facebook page, so I thought I'd
share it here.
I know a lot of woodworkers are also musicians, so you'll appreciate this.

I wrote it based on a combination of personal experience and stories
told by fellow musicians.

I started laughing yesterday when it hit my FaceBook profile from yours
... since then my blackberry has been beeping every minute with someone
responding to "you were tagged in a video" message. :)

Hmmmm ... wonder how many FB'ers we've got here besides you, Han, Luigi,
and Leon?

It's scary how true these animations can be. You've probably lived this
nightmare.

If I'm interpreting your statement correctly, yes.
The website generates the dialogue and animation automatically, when one
types in the script. It's the same as the voice text reader on any
modern PC.

Heh; I left that as an exercise for the reader. Karl found me; he wins. :-)

I LOVE that!
I've had friends call and tell me to watch when they are going to be
there.
...can't say for sure, but I don't think it's been up long.
