<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Listmates,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes Bud, I agree, a point well made. Our band
(Sydney-Zenith) is hybrid, with both amateur and professional
musicians. However, some clarification is perhaps needed. When a
business man retires from his day job and now only plays music fulltime, does
that make him a professional musician or are you talking union membership
here?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cheers </FONT></DIV>
