Have a safe trip, Kolzig.
And Jaz, hon, keep in mind that there aren't that many people making a living as an ocarina player, so 'professional' is a fairly relative term. More importantly though, every pro started as an enthusiastic amateur, and stuck with it because they enjoyed playing and enjoyed making people happy with their music. If you are achieving anything close to that, you're no less deserving than they, and you certainly have as much potential as any of them. Stick with it and you may surprise yourself. One day you could be the one some young player is looking at with a combination of respect and envy.
