Interesting discussion. Except for a few coffee house venues years ago, I've never really gigged. I enjoy singing in public, but I'm more about songwriting.

Having said that, I'm going to give Street Jelly a go, to get it out of my system, and because the fear of stinkin' up the place forces me to play and sing.

But, back to the question. Would I be accurate in saying that the odds of generating income from an original song are equal to those of winning the lottery, or less? And that few, if any, of us here have ever had that happen?
