Musicians will, likely, not want to come to your cookout but will drive from here to eternity to hear (or better play with) other musicians. When a musician is in the church, sitting in the congregation, he or she is, on some level, desiring to be playing. It's inbred. It's what we do.
— Christopher Priest, http://www.digital-priest.com/riv/music.htmThis is a key insight.
In every city, a cadre of musicians wanders from church to church. When they find a church where they are allowed to exercise their God-given talents, they stay. Until they get sidelined for one reason or another. Then they find a new church. A few people in the old church might notice their absence, and wonder what happened.
