    When you play live, how often do you play music you seriously love VS music just for the gig?

    I've been lucky, in a sense, as since I have only played in original bands, I like all the music that I play, or I wouldn't be in the band. One thing that I have noticed though, is that the music that I play in bands is not all music that I would normally listen to, for personal enjoyment. But...
