I work 4th of July, St. Patrick's Day and other parade days. The local Utilities company hires me to play on the sidewalk outside their headquarters. Other businesses hire musicians to play outside their businesses, also.

Then, there's Thursday night Live, a neat live outside venue which draws upwards of 10,000 people. It's in a newly established courtyard when also serves as the location of a Saturday open market....all an effort by the chamber to bring traffic downtown.

After 14 years outside on a patio and the last three years doing outside golf tournaments, barbeques, etc. I'm REALLY TIRED OF PLAYING OUTSIDE!

Neat events, though, and I'll probably continue the "one shots"
for a while. No Patio Restaurant jobs, though. Sweated, been rained on and had enough equipment damage.
