Good post Gary and very true..personally I play around 8 instruments thru the years...but KB is my main AX & Vocals....
Playing with a band is fine although times have changed drastically....doing it as a PRO and making a decent living is daunting but can be done or just getting together to jam with friends is fun also......BUT, being a successful OMB Arranger KB
FULL TIME Pro Player & Entertainer today is another ball game. Don't how many here achieve this day after day supporting their lifestyle and families, but I would say many here have no clue what is is to be in the trenches doing it. For me, Music is the most rewarding job & thurout my life so far couldn't think of doing anything else that gives me more happiness day after day, night after night in so many different venues. I am truly blessed!
All I know is that Every time I go to work I'm going to a Party!!!

oh yeah did I mention you get payed too?
