Three things about teaching; you gotta love the kids, You gotta love music, and the third has something to do with a circular chicken sandwich.
Anyway, This song has nothing to do with that. Or maybe it does. A good teacher, like a good friend needs to lift someone else up. For a teacher it means taking an approach which stresses the positive aspects of the work. For a friend it means taking time to listen and taking the energy to rev someone up.
When I was a young musician, I think that there were people in my life who were threatened by my talent. While I understand that, I wish that they had also thought to take pride in my accomplishments. They deserved to. They taught me so much.
