I guess I'd probably go with no, but I don't really like the reasons given...
I make music because it's an outlet for me. And I don't mean writing deep and meaningful poetic songs to a beautiful piano melody. I mean getting together with a couple of friends, having some beers and bashing the shit out of my piano for a couple of hours. Yeah, we write our own stuff, but it's not likely to be heard by anyone other than whoever is walking past our house at the time.
With gigs, as much as I like doing them it's not something I'd carve a career out of. I went through a phase a few years ago where doing gigs was my sole source of income and it was horrible. I wasn't enjoying them anymore because I HAD to do them, not cos I wanted to. Now me, my brother and a mate just organise a gig when we can be arsed, make little or no money from them and we're pretty happy with that.
