Now, the real world. I played the annual Roots and Heritage festival last week-end. The city paid really well, but, to do the George Duke thing in a club is a $75.00 gig, and there are 3 area "monsters" fighting for the work.I'm the weakest player, but vocals get me by.

Two weeks ago, at a government function a city official came up to me and said, "you play mostly country, don't you?" When I said "hell no", the guy said, "I figured if you could play country, you could play anything".

I wanted to but his B***'s off, but then realized he didn't have any.

Oh well, off to my fried chicken job tomorrow.


What a sell-out I've become.
