While I have played in bands for money since the mid-1960s, only once did I rely on music for my living which was in the mid-1970s. Played in a band, had a regualr gig when I wanted it with a a local coffee house backing others, and gave lessons during the week at a local artsy fartsy place.
The way I look at it is that while I never got be be as good a player as I wanted, I am not half as bad as I think I am.
