Wow, Bruce. I'm glad you survived your vehicle mishap all those decades ago with your musical interest and sense of perspective intact. But I imagine it took a few years to see it in a positive light.

Anything "fun" that becomes a profession is likely to lose much of its appeal. I wonder how enjoyable the 20th round of practice golf within a week is for a golf pro, especially after 5 or 10 years of 20+ rounds per week. (I am just guessing about the golf rounds- my number could be low or high.) Still though, he/she would probably rather be golfing than say, doing accounting or selling houses, or whatever else they might do to put food on the table. Or TEACHING golf could be a reasonable alternative, I think not as profitable as winning golf tournaments, depending on how good your game is.
