"No one  would be a professional female trumpet player for the money. My 
expenses are  huge - there is so much travelling. And it's not glamorous. I don't 
fly  business class. A lot of time is spent hanging around when you're not 
being  paid. And it's risky. You never really know how a performance will go. I'm 
 always on edge. Sometimes I want to be physically sick. But then if I'm not  
keyed up, I think something's wrong."

As you all know, I did receive a very nice email message from Alison.
That being said, this statement has NOTHING to do with just being a female  
trumpet player.  ALL of us who travel on the road face the exact same  
challenges.  Let's not get things mixed up here.
