Everyone chooses their own way to express their individuality and creativity-provided that they choose a way at all, this article is not intended for disinterested consumption junkies.
Creative individuals have a lot of ideas: the one malt, the next can handle wood wonderfully, some make music and some write, take a lot of photography and cook an incredible number. Those who paint and wood works, photography and cooking have a good thing: they always find a lot of enthusiastic buyers who like to look at their creations, receive or eat them, the recognition for the creative work is certain.
The musicians have a good time in a different respect: the enthusiastic "buyers" or listeners are limited to the fans of the intoned music genre, sometimes to very few people, but they almost always succeed in finding an opportunity to perform.
Village pub, party at Freuden or the Introducing-Gig in the City Club-you can play in front of an audience, the creativity made in tones finds your way into the world.
