At my job, order to concentrate, I do not have the face of "joy". While I love my job, I can't imagine everyone at any job smiling the entire time (other than that of actors). I do know that at a performance, something so silly happened at the beginning of the concert, I had to bite my lip to keep from cracking up and embarassing myself. A friend told me that he noticed I had looked angry. I certainly wasn't--I was busy concentrating not to laugh.
Yeah, music is fun, but there are times when I do want to be elsewhere--whether I'm getting paid or not. This is not always the case of course. There are some of us who astually have a hard time performing and have to concentrate not to miss notes or entrances.
