How many of you “make” “music”, and why?

I play clarinet, including a stint as a music major at a university with a pretty good music school. Ultimately I switched from the performance track to music history, and then dropped out of grad school to get into the IT racket, but I've continued to play.

The thing I've been most interested in is playing in orchestras. There's just something about the experience... like UT says, it's hard to say. On the best nights, it can be a religious experience. It's nice to have solos--I had a really nasty one at the last concert, in April, and judging from the comments, I must have played the hell out of it, but I personally don't really remember it. But I also have a really great appreciation for just playing along as part of the group, creating something that turly is greater than the sum of the parts.
