What’s more glorious than working in a field where emotions push you into that state where you just want to burst into song? That is, if it’s done right. Your tender whispering of a love song can move your audience to tears. Your dance of the maiden inspires someone to say your performance makes her think life is all worth it.

You’re touching people’s lives. It beats selling aluminum siding in East McKeesport, PA.

That’s pretty glorious.
