Maybe--you sound like a grey area case if you can actually cover your
long term expenses soley from music-related income.  For most people,
the disintinction is much less ambigous: surviving off their music
income would be fiscally unfeasible for more than a year, at most.

Recall the case of Tal Farlow (jazz guitar legend), who chose to spend
most of his life as a professional sign-painter, gigging close to home
as he felt the need.
