not at all Bachus !!! I too play for free. I don't usually play for profit although I have nothing against that and am regularly paid for my music when that's what I have asked for . Other times I provide my music for free.

But you and I have chosen other routes to our chosen profession which we rely upon to provide us a regular income. Music for us is just a gloriously fulfilling (but expensive) hobby.

For some people , music is what they have to do to make a living and for others like me ,making music is how I enjoy living.
