I played for free for 20 years and then descided to ask $25 per gig! I didn't get called, so I am now retired from gigging. I was a mailman for 37 years and retired now for 25 years. I am 80 and tired and retired. My body said enough is enough, yet I miss it. Hope you don't make the wrong choice, I wish you well Gary, you have and still are valuable help to all of us
