Truer words were never spoken and I wouldn't have lived my life any other way. However it never hurts to hedge your bets a little. I've always had until this year a church music director's job. It was never full time, but it helped out the musicians lifestyle a lot. I also was a real estate investor for several years. Those 2 situations helped bolster up the uncertainty of the music business. But I have to say I've never not had music jobs. Over the years they've taken many forms, but they have always been there for me. I feel truly blessed that I've been able to live this life as primarily a musician/entertainer. As far as I'm concerned, there ain't no other way!
