Well, I used to play for the Air Force, Tim for the Navy, and Yutaka has his DMA from the University of Texas and teaches at UVM. Mike Paul did his bachelors and masters at Illinois State and taught school for a while and does a lot of German band playing. So we've all gotten paid at some point and sometimes we get paid for gigs, but we've done most of our big quartet concerts (like this one) as free performances.
So we'll play for free just because we love playing, but we're not averse to getting paid if someone wants to give us money.
