And I have tuned into Danny's stream twice over the years at 7pm MY time just to see him say goodnight because he played at 7pm HIS time. Yeah... I know.....

As far as streaming to 4 or 5 people, well, I can only tell you that Brian Culbertson tells the story of how, early in his career, he played herein Cleveland and there were 6 people in the audience. But the spirit carries on and he did his show as if it was to 600. The old "I don't care. I play for me." chestnut, while true, only prompts the question "Then why are you here?" Sit at home and play your 1000 song catalog to your dog and cats. If it gives you satisfaction to play to nobody, you do you!! You can award yourself the "songwriter of the year here in my house" award every year, win some "Homey Awards".... whatever satisfies your soul, because in the final countdown, you are the only one you need to impress.

Danny donates his tips. That's his motivation. And I laud that. I may do a stream, but between audio and video, I have 6 weeks of prep before I'd be ready to do that. We'll see.


Eddie, thank you so much for the kind words. I am guessing I send the mass quantities of crisp 10.00 bills to the usual address?

Humbly,
