17. Was A Hobby Here To

From 1985 to 2006 the same 4 guys played 80 gigs a year. I coordinated gigs & my business travel schedules so I could still travel for work but get back to play.
The guy who played guitar fully (the other lead singer) did a full time thing for a year.
Said the first couple months were fun, then it sucked. By the 6th month, he said book nothing beyond 6 months from now. Never again.
I can't imagine how these folks would survive now. Not sure how many in the US are eligible for UEI. Do they all pay in, or is it gig economy stuff.
