>are you making a pretty good living doing what you do on guitar?

I'm a teacher in the collage here in Poland. I gradauted Informatics at Wroclaw University (master), and this is my "usual" job. Unfortunatelly people here in Poland earn not a lot of money. I think it's something like 300-400 USD per MONTH.

From time to time we play gigs here in Poland, and outside Poland (last time we have played gig in Berlin/Germany last Friday), and thats the way to earn some extra-money. But nothing special (in Poland). I'm looking for manager to play more gigs in West Europe, because it's rich area to play gigs, and our gigs are great advertisement for club (very original music - there is something to write about in press and other media).

Actually we play better, and better gigs (better places, more listeners), and always club owner is very happy to have such impressive gig. I hope for next 3-8 years after releasing first CD I would stop working as a teacher in collage.

Last time I have stopped to spend my money on gear.
