For the umpteenth time!!!! It all comes down to 3 things. Donny and Dave is gonna love this!

If you can sing and play your ax, ( keyboard for those of you in Rio Linda California), the keyboard to the client - patrons - customers whom ever (or is it who ever Gary?) is insignificant. Let me repeart that for the Rio Linda folks. If you can sing and play your ax, the brand of keyboard you use is INSIGNIFICANT to the people. IT IS ONLY IMPORTANT TO YOU THE USER!!!

I'd listen to Dexter Gordon play a $50 sax all night. He'd be miserable, but the average person wouldn't know the difference.

The third thing is ,"Can you entertain?" I've heard people that were so bad, I mean they couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, that I litterally laughed at them in-side my brain, and the customers where asking me, "isn't he great?"

The public's taste in music sucks. If it didn't, you wouldn't have drug addict bizzionarie rappers on every page in the newspaer killing each other and being arrested for drugs right?

I bet a million bucks Gary, DonM, and Scott could make a bunch of money with a Casio. Donny and Dave could do this too!

However, I'll go a step farther with them. I contend that they have so much crap with them on the business end, and laugh and smile and look at the people on the dance floor so much (for the Rio Linda Folks, that means they flirt a lot) that they could make a living just singing and playing a comb with tissue paper.

Dave, Donny this is the greatest compliment possible from a Cajun. This is not meant to be offensive.

Some got it and some don't. I won't make a lot of money cause I don't got all those attributes to entertain. I just want a few people every now and then to come up and say, Man! I thought Dexter, Getz, Coltrane and Rollins were the only guys that played "Polkadots And Moonbeams" and Darn That Dream" on the sax, and of course a few bucks here and there would help.
