Good morning everybody,

I recently read an article about “day-giggers,” people who work a day job and play music part time. What struck me right away is that I am one of these people.

However, I liked how this article mentioned people like me and some of my colleagues due to the lack of steady work nation wide many of us have to turn to a regular job to support our musical goals.
