Very well put Herb.

In the late 60’s I was one of the few guitarists in my area that could read music. As I needed money I joined a wedding group and that proved to be my niche in music. While my friends were practicing 2-3 nights a week then playing in bars for $20 on the weekends I was just showing up and playing the gig for a lot more. I eventually ended up fronting my own wedding band. During the slow times we played at the American Legions, VFWs, Elk’s clubs and other private clubs and we were booked for many years. Also we were still playing for many years after most all my bar-playing friends stopped playing. The DWI laws had little effect on weddings!

So I was a successful weekend warrior.

As Herb said find your niche in music, be really good at it and you can make some decent money.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.
