Several of our esteemed members have retired from the work world and now play music for a living. This has always been a dream of mine. I have many questions on how to do this??

Have you actually "Retired" meaning are you getting a Social Security Check, Pension, etc. and supplementing your income with music? Are you able to survive with $100-$200 a gig income? How many gigs a week must you play to make a decent weekly income? Are you living comfortably?

So the big question is the business of being a Solo Arranger Player; is it worth it and can it work?
