Re: Music is not Work

Its the two sides:
1.) music as a business
2.) music as something we enjoy doing

We all do both (well, hopefully everyone does the second) but the first allows to continue with the second. We need both parts and its definitely work, even practicing.
I was talking to some teachers and upon calculating their pay on a per hour basis, a grocery bagger is paid more than they are. That said, there is still nothing they'd probably rather be doing.
Enjoy playing music, but its still a job. And work.
