Default Does anyone here make a living out of music?

Well?

I recall there being someone who's done some producing and another (spguitar?) who's done some excessive touring with his band.

Spill the beans.

yeah mostly i just know session musicians and the ilk who used to be really passionate players, went to a music academy, came out the other end with jaw-dropping skills but less interesting playing and now just work in 5 different cover bands at once and hate playing music entirely.

Gotta disagree with slunken there. I know a few people lucky enough to be full-time musicians and they still like what they do quite a bit. People who put out records and get to tour quite a bit.

I feel you mr. Sonic, I envy the living shit out of these people.
