I believe we are not professionals Dave, we are music lovers and
musicians with enough IT skills to love Linux, playing mostly alone or
in bands, with ten shows/year (more or less), stucked to this mailing
list, occasionally with some music delivered (for free) on the
internet, but if we ever have to live 100% with music we would be
starved to death :-(
Which is true for 99% of musicians using Windows tools (or Mac), too.
Some article mentioned it (I forgot the source): 'We did not invent the
term "starving artist" in the second half of the 20th century.'
