"Being a piano player in a whorehouse with a room to live in upstairs might be a good way to go too. "

This brought to me a good laugh. My father (excellent jazz piano player) always said that at last, he would never die of hunger, because he could always be "the twink who plays the piano" - I don't know why he assumed any sexual preference of bordello piano players, but his phrase will live in my memories forever. I don't play piano, but as I'm approaching my 56, will seriously consider starting a piano career, just in case. (do they still hire piano players ??)
