Last Thursday from 5PM to 8PM, I worked the last farmer's market in Grand Junction for the season. A big event for this town. They claim attendance in the thousands. I never get anyone to come up and offer me a gig but now and then someone will ask for a card. This time a married couple who manages one of the top 2 or 3 retirement - nursing centers came up, gave me their card, and asked me to contact them. They booked me for two gigs.
What is funny is when I first started back playing after a 25-year absence, I went to this place and they gave me the cold shoulder some years back. I am sure it was not this couple.
I have also started taking small brick gigs again. That is about all there is around here and they are far, few and in between.
