Bill, first of I never talk personal income with anyone in person or online...next my replies & opinions are my own and I express them here because that’s what the forum is for whether they are good or not. What I read is what I perceived from your original post & I responded accordingly.
Im a believer in quality vs quantity so yearly gig totals don’t impress me. I know your a hard worker and a passionate musician judging by your posts & I embrace that very much as I do any brother musicians efforts if they are heartfelt. But when I see the things I talked about in my previous post & I’m not saying that it's you, but when I viewed it in a more generalized way it irritated me, & I spoke out. You are certainly doing fine out there & that is to be commended, locality influenced or not. We all do it differently,where ever we do it, but if we don’t share our thoughts nobody benefits.
Maybe I should of left this post alone altogether...it wasn’t intended to disrespect or belittle anyone, just wanted to bring it out in the open for discussion.
