Part 2 of this episode contains excerpts from some of our guest's responses to our question about a "back-up plan". Once they were bitten by the muse of music, voice artistry or working in a studio environment, they did whatever they could do to make that their career without falling back on a back-up plan. No one was an overnight success and they all have worked, and continue to work hard to keep their passion alive.
