First of all - welcome John! For those not familiar with John's music I
highly recommend his solo disc "Sleepwalkers". It's very, very good.
As for me, I've been playing in bands for 30 years and I've yet to make any
money at it so I reckon it's just a hobby. I've got a regular day job to
help with my part of this wife, kid, house, car, dog, cat gig.
