Going back to 'continuum' point: take that great great man Bob Copper ~ traditional source → gigger with Cousin Ron, son John, solo → broadcaster → collector → authority → author → respected elder → Grand Old Man ···

and NEVER, to end of life, gave up day job of publican/club-manager.

Where, on your 'continuum' & the semi-pro register, are we to place him, now, would you say?
