I have to say it again:
I hate the word "gig". Somehow it just takes a little of the seriousness of the art away. Maybe years ago, in smoky bars and jazz clubs it was "hip" to use the expression, but in todays market of expanded potential, it seems more logical to call work "work". This is a viable way to earn a living and should be treated as such.

*** Disclaimer ***

This is not directed at anyone here...or anyone's usage of the word. I just think, like many traditions (good and bad) - this one should fade away. makes me feel like it's "less" of a job, somehow.
