I was a performing musician/singer for over 30 years. Played over 2,000 gigs over that time.
20 years of that (1,600 or so gigs) was with the same band; same 4 guys, counting me.
In fact, it was the same sound & lighting guys, too.
It was a very lucrative hobby. That's why I have a piano, multikeyboard rig, 14 guitars, a bass, a mandolin, a violin, an electronic drum kit & a recording console. Since I never spent any household money, my wife never objected.
I had to quit when it was too hard to manage that schedule with my work travel schedule. I was gone an awful lot & decided when I'm home, I should be home.
