A guitarist friend of mine likes to quote a musician who said there 
are three things that motivate us to play (in no particular order): 1) 
having fun, 2) advancing ourselves musically, and 3) making money.  A 
gig of any type -- studio, live performance, etc. -- should satisfy 
two of the three or it's not worth it.  In other words, if you're 
*just* having fun, or *just* making money, it's not worth it.  

Lately, I've had to satisfy myself with 1) and 2).  There's no money 
in live music at my level.
