Well, now, we get paid to play, albeit only a few times a year at this point, plus we have a cassette coming out soon. So I consider us professional, mainly because I have a professional attitude about what we do. I practice hard and return calls on time. But this is not our only means of support at present, so I guess some would consider us amateur.

I agree that anyone can play wherever they get hired and anyone who doesn't like that can go suck a lemon.
