Don Juan, lady killer? No, music producers.
John Dodge and Don Cooper, the members of Don Juan, began producing music about three years ago. Over the years, they have been trying to build this as their main profession.
They said that it was initially difficult to “shuck the robe of responsibility” and turn from traditional, stable jobs to a career writing and producing music. Cooper mentions that he’s keeping a teaching job just in case his music career falls through.
Even though they sometimes experience financial concerns, creative tension, and fight with one another, both Dodge and Cooper agree that it’s worth it.
They’re recording this spring and hope to have their music on the radio by the end of the summer.
That lead requires a lot from the reader, Maggie.
OK on paraphrasing. I only see the partial quote so I
can’t comment directly on your punctuation. I do
have faith, however.
