Generally, I only work where I control everything that goes on on the bandstand.


That being said, I worked for 20 years with the highest paying dude who ever worked a mike in Lexington. It was sit-ins and sing -along's all night. The guy made 4 times more than I did, and he earned it. I played behind him on strings and opposite him (30 minute breaks for him) on keyboards, guitar, etc.

That's when I knew I would never be an entertainer.

It was a 365 day a year party.
