Hi, Abuwood: The truth is, it's all real life... the music making, the earning-a-living rubbish (which for some people is a positive part of their life) sickness, divorce, marriage... the whole thing. I just didn't want to title the thread "What do you do for a living?" That sounded far too mundane, and I don't think there would have been the breadth and openness of the responses if I'd worded that way. Or, I could have worded it "Post Your Resume." That's not what I thought would be interesting. And as I mentioned in Part I of this thread, many friends of mine make a living out of playing music. I just think that it's fascinating to see the crazy mix of people us Catters are, and I feel like I've gotten to know people better.

By the way, what do you do to make a living, when you're not playing music? Just would like to know...:-)
