Well, I was "pro" in the sense that I made money at it; played full time (6 days a week, 5 hours a night) for just 3 years. Never played with any well known people. So call it 'semi-pro,' like yourself, if you like. ;-)
Well, I never made a living at it, never made money at it more than perhap five hundred bucks a year after expenses. I always kept a day job, and once my son was born, gigging went to the wayside for a decade.
Anyway, good to have another fiddler on the boards.
