You can list me as a hobby player. I haven't 'played for pay' since 1971.

Which reminds me of an incedent at a biker rally I was at last year. A guy was thumping away on an acoustic guitar, and his girlfriend warned the people gathering 'round, that she didn't want any 'amateurs' messing up his axe. He was having trouble with "Tangerine", and after I had whispered a few of the chord changes to him, he shrugged and handed me the guitar.

I did Tangerine, followed by "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You", quickly retuned to an open D, and laid out "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" and "That's The Way". As I handed the guitar (still tuned in open D) back to the guy, I turned to his open-mouthed girlfriend and explained that I had hadn't been a professional musician since 1971, "Which means I've been a f***in' amateur for [u]thirty years[/u]!"
