When I was 18, my latest band broke up. I had to choose whether was going to get a day job, or risk starving for the sake of my music. I got a day job. I still jam a bit, and I may get into a band that does the ocaisional weekend gig. I don't feel like I chickened out. Like the man says, 99.9% of don't have the drive, or the luck, to make it. I made my choice almost 32 years ago, (I turn 50 today). Looking back, it was the right choice for me. Only you can make that decision for you.
