Gerald is quite a guy. He lived in New York for almost 40 years, then
gave up trying to make ends meet there and moved back to his original
home town in Texas. The books on feng shui and investments were to try
to make money. For the same purpose, he worked (at home) as a tester of
computer games in the early days. Back in Texas, he and his nephew have
a business buying old houses, rehabilitating them, and renting them out.
Try to add all that to his subfield c!

I can just see it now: 
Warfield, Gerald, |c composer who later wrote on feng shui and investing

Or I suppose that since feng shui is a pretty unusual subject, we could
make a rule that anyone who has ever worked with feng shui should have
that as their sole qualifier.

I would rather add the name to an undifferentiated record than come up
with a |c. For one thing, the field of endeavor can change. Have a look
at the NAR for Warfield, Gerald, who has composed music, and written on
(at least) music theory, feng shui, and investing.

I think we have all (LC catalogers included) been extending/bending what

the 22.19 and its LCRI says about what can be used in $c to break 
conflicts.  You will find numerous terms added to post-19th century
names 
that are clearly a violation of 22.19 and its LCRI (e.g., actor,
director, 
lawyer, physician).  Technically, I would say that "dancer", "ballet 
dancer" and the like are going beyond what we are allowed by the AACR2 
rule and LCRI to do.  However, RDA will allow the addition of an 
occupation/profession or field of activity to break conflicts, so I
don't 
really feel that adding these kinds of terms now is so bad.  However, if

you want to follow the letter of the law so to speak, you can't add
these 
kinds of terms to AACR2 names for post-19th century persons.

I favor this extension of the category to include other musical arts,
but I'm wondering whether there is any clear guidance allowing or
disallowing it.
