If you view playing from a dollar point of view you have a good point Donny.

Playing with another musician is like going for dinner or going to the theater. I spent three years playing with an Italian mandolin player in my home and in the clubhouse – there were times we played a paying job at a local place; I did my normal set of songs and we went to the tables mandolin, guitar and singing. We were called back many times.

More than music happened; there was a relationship on and off stage. When I watched Tony’s video I saw the relationship. When Johnathan wrote about doing a job together with his wife, there was more than just music. We were blessed with a talent that can be used in many ways --- in each stage of our lives it is possible to use our gift in a different way. Writing on this forum is one.

LIFE IS GOOD, John C.
