Sounds like the difference between pursuing your art/dream vs. playing for a living/job.

Very few of us get to have a 'good job' doing things we truly love. It's my perception this is especially true for musicians. At least the bio's of Miller, Holly and scads of others seem to suggest such.

Some play for a living during the day and play for love at night...
"It takes a lot of devotion and work, or maybe I should say play, because if you love it, that's what it amounts to. I haven't found any shortcuts, and I've been looking for a long time."
-- Chet Atkins
