Since I stoped doing House Gigs  my business has never been better  I have a more diversified crowd and better tips better CD sales  higher pay  and booked at least 5 shows a week  no more house Gigs  I have found that by playing multiple places business has never been better and the buzz has been great.
it take's a little work to ramp it up  but now I am reaping the reward    food for thought.
