What It Takes To Be a Professional Musician

I'm in the midst of preparations for the Nancy Wilson Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp. There are a lot of songs and material to revise and learn. It's often assumed that because I'm a "professional" musician, that I can just show up, I already know the music, and it's easy for me. Nope! There's a big difference between hearing a piece of music and knowing it! I put in the time, rehearse, prepare and anticipate the needs of each gig or situation. To me, being a professional means working hard - to make it look easy! ?
