Gary your last paragraph says it all....
How many times I have seen my music buddies pass up special events, family and fun, to take a $100 nursing home gig..
Music is for my enjoyment and will not interfere with a grandchild birthday party, or even dinner with a friend..
Most music income folks miss so much in life..
It can't be the money...none are rich, so it is only ego...

Don, enjoy all the avenues of life...

good one Don you got us

Well, I can truthfully say I've been had by the best of the best.

Ok, I didn’t mean a thing I said in my post. I have no idea why I wrote it

I hate to be taken – but that goes away – now it’s time to get even.

Hey, what a way to get us to say how we feel about you. Nice!

Just as I read the last words of Mason's post I remembered what the date was and thought "Damn, he did it again..."

Sorry guys, I couldn't resist! I get you EVERY YEAR! HEE-HEE!
I will probably keep on pickin' until they don't invite me back, but I HAVE slowed down to only 2 or 3 nights a week.
I do appreciate the things you guys said though. Almost makes me sorry I pulled your legs AGAIN.
I'm so blessed to actually make a living playing music! I get to go jam for four hours, they pay me do it and feed me, and customers pay me even more and tell me they like what I do! The occasional misguided debutante still mistakes me for someone much younger and much more interesting. What's not to like?
Have a great APRIL FOOLS DAY my wonderful friends!

DonM. I have enjoyed following your Forum comments for many years, you can alway pop in with update news anytime.

Best wishes from the UK

Seriously, happy AF day.
