Bill, I am talking about very small bars. Bars that rarely have live music. Dives. These bars are lucky if there are 20 people in the bar on most nights. A big night would be 40 at one time.
I don't know but all I know is I gotta try something. And bar owners are chinchy.
I have another idea for an act that would command more pay but it's thousands of dollars more in equipment away and several months of development and practice even if I had the equipment. In the meantime... I'm trying to figure out how to get $100 to $150. Bands around here are not earning much.
