RE: hobby

Posted by digda_beat on April 17, 2017 at 17:12:06:
If you are a muso or music tech then you would see it as part of your career/livelihood.
I think your definition of hobby is a bit narrow. I think hobby alpplies to any thing we do regularly thats not for profit but for enjoyment. Eg there are professional artists and art hobbyist. I suppose it comes down to passion as well- you might not make any money from model building or abstract painting, but it comes down to how you approach it- is is your passion that is central to your life or it a leisure activity done for relaxation/enjoyment? Or is it both.....??
In that regard for a lot of us it is a hobby. However it, or more likely the music it carries, may be an essential need we have, or a personal salve
