I started out as a single, playing guitar in smoke filled bars, then started a 5 piece country band, and after 10 years, when arranger keyboards became available, went back to solo and never looked back. Yes, it was fun playing in the band, but no one made a living. With few exceptions, the same holds true today - band members all do something else to earn a living. I know many solo performers who make a good living as an entertainer. So, the decision is up to you - do you just want to have fun, or do you want to make a living as an entertainer?

Good luck,

Gary
