As my grandfather, Papa Jac Assunto, told me time after time growing up, "Making a living playing music is fine, but make sure you have something to fall back on!" I heeded those words and developed my skills in computer programming and financial accounting. There have been times in my career that I have made my sole living performing music professionally. Now I have a corporate job and perform music at night and on weekends, but everytime I take the horn out of it's case, I still get paid. Does that make me less of a professional than a f/t player?

Makes you think, when a musician is working he's playing!
