Words to the wise and to those who aspire to become
music journalists

Here's a welcome teaser, and a breath of humanity:
"I feel that part of what it means to be a music journalist is the practice of helping people who ask for advice. I am honored and privileged to be involved in the craft of music journalism. As such, I feel obligated to share some of the knowledge that I have acquired. My aim in writing this piece is to answer any potential questions that new writers may have. If I've failed to answer any questions that come to mind, please don't hesitate to contact me. Questions and comments are very much appreciated."
