Dave, I'd be happy to have a "who did the most gigs" competition in their lifetime. I quit my full time job at age 22 and have been playing almost every day ever since, full time, often 7 days a week. 10 years in Europe busking in the streets 5-8 hours daily, night-time jobs playing the pubs and clubs, a lot of midnight after-hour jobs in the after-hours joints. If you'd like I'll pull up my income tax records of reported wages. I have so many returns I had to buy a tractor trailer to store them all in.

The post wasn't about who did the most gigs in their lifetime (or the previous lives even), it was about me wondering if that's why I'm burned out of playing these days. Once YOU get a resume like that, I suppose you'll just keep on forging ahead until you've broken my own record of 160,074 gigs
