I don't have any problem with this description either, but it definitely has 
relevance to which market you are Professional enough to play and be 
compensated at market price "Flea Market or Stock Market"  "Farmer's Market or Super 
Market"

By the way Lewis with all due respect:
What is A CLU, ChFC  and how much more money could a drummer earn with that 
title behind his name, or is that a secret code for Trumpet players?  :))
