Went to sale barn yesterday to attend consignment auction before livestock sells at 1 PM..and Mr. Gilchrist offered me a Friday night gig from 7-10 PM..he is in good. With them.. He had. heard me and Faron jamming out there when we were on selling side of the yard a few weeks ago and I am very surprised to find when me and Faron busk..people take notice and reward us accordingly..

Rooting my horn.when I was given the Multivox Premier vintage guitar amp foot switch the past September while busking at swap meet with Faron 20 minutes of playing and it sold for 33.00 $ on eBay that is the same as making $99.00 an hour..it all adds up no matter what somebody's opinion is about playing Swap meets and it beats the he'll out of playing for stale pizza.

AL gigs around here don't pay too great - $175 for a full band on a weekend night. Less for a solo or duo act. I've played for free at ALs for benefit shows - but not hauling equipment and playing for 3 hours for what they'll pay.
