Interesting word, and I needed to look it up in the OED.

It could be used but it is 'a minor occupation' and originated in the middle 17th century.

How about entering a new description, such as "avocation"?

I have an individual in my Legacy file that played banjo with a group in the 1930s. Do I put, as an event, Occupation with played banjo as the description? Or have others used a different event/fact word for band members/musicians/etc.?

   Your thought would be greatly appreciated.
