Boy, I'd sure rather be STARIN' at that mule than "Fillin 'er up, Jerry!When I started, the vast majority of musicians' day jobs were Driving Cabs, faking Academia, and part time construction.
Nowadays they're doing computer gigs and making more than they'll ever make with the axe. Actors are still waiters though.
Wish I'd taken SOME kind of day job though....playin in bars in between folky gigs made me farrr to cynical!
