Hey Mike I don't take it personally and yes they are worth every penny, dime or shekel they get. In better times, I would have taken us out to dinner and more as well.
Those of us in the arts& craft/tourist biz are taking in 10% of what we did 8 yrs ago. It's not just me and my fellow crafters that have been doing this for 30+ years, feeling the pinch, it's other micro small businesses as well.
Music and other art expressions are not essential. Look what's being cut from local government services, in some cities, police manpower.
Maybe it's me but I see a whole restructuring of life in the years ahead and maybe a Renaissance after that. Life without art is very bleak.
There's another group That i saw(Youtube of course) doing some Phantom of the Opera rock style, Night Vision or Night Watch, I can never remember there name. Heavy Metal but outstanding.
Have a Good Christmas, Wyndham
