Bob Greene: You were a top professional french hornplayer with aspirations to be the best. He says he found his skills declining in his early twenties, when his career was going well. That may have been a gift because it gave him time to make changes and learn how to do things differently. Greene: Now i've taken my career down to the studs now four times. And so i've learned how to change - largely out of necessity the first time.
