Russ.....great post & opinions I love the read buddy.....I look at it this way.....
I come to see you perform or take my lady too what ever....we have a great time , listening, dancing, getting in to the performance because you provided and entertaining show that kept my attention in what ever way you can....then that is a successful show, an entertaining act, for a few hours the performer has took me away from reality and made my time together enjoyable...we're all happy when we leave and hope to return to do it again...if a performer does that he has done his job & so be it, heck I'd probably give you a Gumba hug too on the way out baby!!! Its a broad spectrum this Business we're in, I myself 35+ yrs...I loved it when I started & will always love it.......& I can see by reading your posts that we are in agreement big time .... keep it going Capt Russ your very much appreciated to many for sure!!!

Stay well my friend!!
