No--the welfare case isn't paying his bills from money derived from
music-making activities. In a related case: Vincent van Gogh was
never a professional painter.
Bryan Beller: no, wasn't a professional musician until recently. Has
existed in the semi-pro years since leaving college under my
definition. Another related case: Philip Glass drove a taxi and
installed kitchen appliances to pay the bills until the early 80's.
