I wholeheartedly agree with Don and Ian. I began playing in a group when at 17, picking out leads with a 6-string electric. Never made enough money to pay for gas, cigarettes and booze back then. Things didn't change much until I went solo. Then the jobs began coming in on a regular basis. When I was playing the clubs, there wasn't a night that went by when someone didn't come up and tell me they were a guitar player, bass player, drummer, sax player, etc., and was I interested in doing some duo or trio work with them. It didn't take long to discover they were not working, I was, and they were looking for bookings.

Now I only do the clubs once in a while, lots of private parties, lots of nursing homes, assisted living centers and retirement communities. Those folks are probably still out there looking for work.

Cheers,

Gary
