"Potential client!" What is a "potential client?" I had to Google it. As I was read the definition, I recalled somewhere back in another lifetime I think I had "potential clients." I think! I DO remember coming home to phone calls on my answering machine every night. I think! I do remember setting up a computer database to keep track of scheduling. I think!

I don't have to think on this one. Donny made me realize just now I haven't had a "potential client" call me in years. Now I have to chase THEM.

You know, I clearly remember thinking years ago, when I first started.........should I become a full-time musician? I weighed all the aspects carefully before I quit my day job. I reasoned that music will ALWAYS be there and in demand. That if the economy got worse or we had another "Great Depression" like they had in the late 20's, music will be needed and appreciated even more, to keep up everyone's spirits and to occupy them. Boy, was I wrong. As the economy bottomed out, the first thing to go was the Arts. The second thing to go was genuine music and genuine musicians. Thankfully it didn't happen for 50 years!
