Entertaining in South Texas

Welcome.... do you guys do any "Megadeth"?

Welcome Tim and Sharon: Do some entertaining on the Mix and put up some audio samples for us to grove on. By your Picts, looks like ya'll know how to have fun.

Thank you for the welcomes, Crip2Nite and sanshouheil. No Megadeth that's a bit young and wild for us, although we do - Nothing Else Matters by Metallica.
We do - Old Country, New Country, Classic Rock, Oldies, Blues. Yes, a very wide variety but that's what we like. Yes, we do have lots of fun - we entertain with a show as you can see by our pictures, I put on outfits as well. We get out into the crowd too, we are wireless. [/color]

They charge $400 a night to start.

That's $200 a piece.

They're making more than we are.

And Howlin' sez,

Tim and Sharon are what you call "professional entertainers". Most of the rest of us sometimes aspire to be , but end up playing mostly for the fun of it.

After my blue collar job folded due to plant closure (after working there for 20 years), my wife and I put together a duo. (Keys, bass, programmed drums). That project made money. We learned about running a business, paying taxes, and sorta how to get along with each other. Sad to say, we didn't earn enough to run the business, the house, and health insurance. I have long since returned to having a cursed day job, but still find time to satisfy my playing out addiction. At lest I got a taste of being a "professional musicion" , for a while.

If I was to play exclusively today, it's safe to say that I would have to make at least $200 a gig (and be booked every night) to cover gas, tax, insurance, promo, etc.

Sounds like Tim and Sharon have a good thing going!

Jam on!

Amen, Praise God and pass the ammo. The cursed day job SUCKS!
Being a Nurse SUCKS! Taxes SUCK! Insurance salesmen oh man my trigger finger is itchin now. Protection rackets SUCK!

Keep havin fun you two!

Sans - you need a valium

Now way man downers just piss me off

Most of the 2 man acoustic groups Ive talked to in my area get 250-300 a night, so thats 125-150 a night. Im talking about the guys that do it once or twice a week. Most of these guys play in bands on the weekends and play these gigs on mondays, wed, and thursday nights. There would be good money in being a solo acoustic jukebox in my area. It just never was my cup of tea, but the gig or two I went too were fun. They were getting the crowd to sing along or having guest singers, kind of a live Karaoke.

Im just addicted to loud a** rock n roll, I cant help myself.
