Just for some perspective, how many people are there in Bisbee Arizona?

There is a city near me called Center Of The World Oho that has about 2 dozen houses and a gas station/quickie mart. Half the town there is like 22 people.... It's so small that no population is listed! LOL!!!

Every time my travels take me through there I think, I thought I was the center of the world???

Well, MY world, anyway...


Well, Half the town was an over statement. The club was packed and people were standing outside on the street. I really don't know how many people were there.
I think four or five thousand people live in Bisbee. Tourist go there from all over the world.

My point was more about "getting paid" and how money is only one measure of the rewards to be had playing music.
