[QUOTE="Lwaxy, post: 7716044, member: 53286"] Believe me, I can't perform any kind of music anymore. My voice sounds like... well it's been described a choir of burning goblins, screeching gremlins, rabid hyena, burglar alarm, torture device etc and the neighbors asked me kindly once not to sing while they had prospective buyers for their house over, as it would devalue the property. I :):):):) you not. Unfortunately, I love to sing, so my family keeps shouting at me to shut up, with various bad words added. My dex for instruments is non-existing nowadays, due to various health issues, although I used to play the flute, guitar and keyboard, except for drums (which I am ok with but I don't own any) but that in itself is not music, it's rhythm. Nowadays, no one will believe I used to be in a reggae band. And I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who couldn't ever learn an instrument to begin with and have even worse voices. And well if someone wants to spend money for a GM, nothing in the world to stop them. Although it still feels wrong to me. Maybe I'm just old fashioned. My family tells me that there's a lot more work involved in GMing nowadays than back in the 80s, and despite all the tools I have this is actually true, so I guess I see why people who GM much would want to be compensated. In any case, I don't think you could even do that in Germany - so many rules and regulations on anything that I had to stop something else I did for money because the new regulations weren't workable for me. I could only imagine the looks I would get if I would try to find out what paragraphs cover GMing haha. [/QUOTE]
