My sister actually found this thread before I did. She is signed up for Google alerts, and forwarded this to me when it came across.

Semi-live, So you saw the Hombres Saturday night eh? And that was the gig that I thought sucked. LOL. Just goes to show you gotta be on your game no matter how much you don't like it. I think that room wasn't a good fit for us. We cleared out that place in no time. the acoustic singer songwriters had a full room, and we got rid of almost everybody by the time we were done. The other hombres showcases went much better, and of course Carolyn Martin's western swing outfit is always a blast.

Now all I need to do is figure out how to actually make a decent living doing tasteful music. Oy, t'ain't easy living on 20k a year. What we do for the sake of art. I guess part of me is still chasing a dream and not just a job, or I should have never picked Nashville. Guess the Nord Stage will wait another year.

Anyway, thanks for all your nice comments everybody.
