Any openings in the near future, Vic? :D

Post Re: what do you do for a living beside chapman stick
Musician for the time being...I don't live with the stick. But I do with my guitar and cello. Sometimes on bass also.

But I did many small jobs in my life. I did have an important one between '89 and '96. I was at 911 Emergency Center in Montreal. Four years as a call taker and then I became a supervisor.

I also worked in a gas station combined with a convenient store. I've been a manager of 2 hotels in the Dominican Republic and then a superviser of a condos building...still in DR.

And many other small jobs...but I always came back to music.

In 3 months I'll be receiving a pension (65) and more free to choose the musical jobs I want to do or not. I started to earn my life as a musician at 18...that means 47 years living this way...that's gonna be a bit different.

Post Re: what do you do for a living beside chapman stick
After ten or so years in renovations and construction, I'm getting to pursue artistic passions twofold: music and craft/wood working.

In addition to recently releasing a new album (more to come soon), I'm launching this fledgling wood craft business:

http://brianbaggettwoodcraft.ca/

I currently create three model/size of small hardwood gift boxes that sell pretty well at craft fairs in Saskatchewan. As experience grows, I plan to offer more.

I'm just thankful my wife is supportive of me doing this! I finally feel like I've landed where I want to be...

I'm also in IT, on the agile dev side. I'm very fortunate to have worked in several industries from broadcast to healthcare.

Funny I knew what the henway was but had to google what "IT" was. Yes I'm in music full time, teaching is mostly where I earn a living.
