I would probably be working in a law office
somewhere, doing artist contracts and music licensing agreements.
Otherwise, I'd be an archeologist/geologist/gardener. And I would always
find a way to do music.

I'd continue in my day job, writing as a film critic --I'd probably do
it more properly though, if I wasn't spending so much time on music!
Though I imagine I'd get more involved with filmmaking as a creative
outlet . . .

Working in graphics or writing, I suspect. I have made my living, at
least partially, as a graphic designer for some time. Or maybe I'd get
serious about computers and learn some programing and such. We'll have
to wait and see where the road takes me.
- M. Bentley: the foundry
That's a pretty funny question, since it implies that one should expect to
make their living from music. There's nothing that could prevent me from
making music, precisely because it's NOT the source of my income. Working
in an office from 8-5, ironically, gives me a foundation of personal
stability that means I can continue to make music as long as I want. On
the other hand, if I were trying to make a living from my music, a lack of
acceptance of my work could prevent me from doing it any more. Funny how
that works.

carpenter, priest or teacher for dog
- Katsuya Hironaka: Electronician
Keeping my day job :-) I really don't think of myself as a musician that
much, but if I suddenly couldn't hear, i'd be quite bummed. I've sort of
grown dependent on that stimulus. I quite envy people who help others i.e.
doctors, nurses, therapists, etc.)
- John Michael Zorko: AdAstra Records
I would work full time with "at risk" children. There are very few things
I've done in my life that have given me as much satisfaction as this. It's
definitely an important and time consuming task, but it's also very rewarding.
- Jeff Pearce: ambient guitarist
I guess on my behalf it would be a pretty easy choice since I've been
arranging the visual imagery for most of my CD albums. So, if I really should be unable to do music, I would definitely focus myself on photography.
Although more recently I've been working with my wife Martine, who has been
responsible for my of my current covers, I still love to shoot images,
relevant to my music. But if this music wouldn't exist, I feel that my photography
contains a lot of similarities in mood. I'm convinced photography would be a fine substitute.
- Vidna Obmana: ambient artist
I would be some sort of spiritual mendicant or travel writer or maybe both. It may yet happen.

Other then cry a lot? Oh probably something anthropological, maybe spend a
few years living in some village in the middle of now where trying to
figure out the meaning of life or at least a portion of it.
