This may well be true, but I'd be truly surprised if Ellington didn't also
love making music. Things in real life are as simple as A/B. >>

If you are in junior high, I'd say that attracting the opposite sex is a big
consideration for a new musician. What about little kids? Myself, really
applying myself to harp last year at the age of 26, I wanted a new creative
outlet and was always fascinated by improvisation, particularly in blues, and
the idea (illusion?) of near-spontaneous creativity. Maybe for me it's been
the manifestation of a pre-midlife crisis.
But at 14, impressing girls would have definitely made me practice a little
harder...
