Re: How Many Of You Play Music Every Day????????????
Four or five gigs per week, and a sing-around I attend every Tuesday. As to practice, ashamed to say that mine's limited to when I want to learn something, or prepare for a gig requiring a specific repertoire (e.g., around the December holidays, St. Patrick's Day, such-like).
I keep busy enough that an instrument (not always mandolin) is in my hand for an hour or more five-plus days per week. At my advanced age, that seems sufficient to me, though I do find that instruments that I've neglected for a period of time, such a Dobro or lap dulcimer, end up accumulating some "rust" when I break them out and try playing them.
