I was driving along thinking about GMC and my not-so-illustrious musical career to date, and I got to wondering, how many of us are hard core musicians, how many are weekend giggers, and how many never leave their bedroom? Thought it could be fun to have a poll, so here it is smile.gif

Take the poll and then make somments if you are interested ...

In my case, I've been in a couple of bands, done a few paid gigs, many unpaid gigs at school (slave drivers!) and now concentrate on recording. I'd love to find a way to make a living out of music, but I was ruined by a regular salary in the computer insudtry early on, and now my wife won't give up her shoe habit ... now I can afford whatever I want, but have no time to play it.
