Hey Pete,
I read your post with great interest, and it brings up a point that might deserve a thread of its own: (granted this is something everybody must judge for themselves) is it better to take any and every gig that comes along, whether you love or hate the music, and make a living this way, or to be selective, play only music that really inspires you, and have to work 40 + hours a week? This second path, by the way, describes me.

I can only imagine how fast you grew as a player, playing 5 nights a week, and am envious that I can't seem to make that happen here in the city. Really enjoyed reading your story, and look forward to hearing you play someday.
