Totally possible. The perfomance will vary with the tasks you are doing. 
Recording 32 tracks of 48000hz audio in ardour to a USB thumbdrive might 
not work so well. Running softsynths and some other apps that do not 
rely heavily on disk streaming should work fine..

You might also want to consider to INSTALL a linux distro to the USB 
stick instead of just booting some live image. This way you can setup 
stuff..
