While I'm on a roll, I'd really appreciate more remarks for this reason. I've been thinking for a while now about changing course even this late in life. I like American music and I play American music, but my forte and preference is...."foreign" music."

I've been thinking about posting that for a while now. I think I WILL put a post together and see if anyone has a suggestion on how to go about it or open my eyes up to "opportunities." Bill already planted a seed in my mind with his "Here on Hilton head a new resturant just open called "Taste of Europe" run by two Hungarian ladies and its getting rave reviews."

I'm sure whereever you are there are small niche restaurants doing ethnic food that you could approach and offer something very different. I bet it would go over big. The thing most transplants here miss about the Northeast is the food which is why this new restaurant is a breath of fresh air. Also I would love if you could send me some of your "Hits" from other coountries. I'm thinking about trying to get a gig in this new place. I can play more ethnic music than anyone here. $$$ plus Stuffed cabbage and pirogues ! laugh
One more thing. In Ashville NC busking is big all over the city. All kind of players and even dancers. Unwritten rule. Work your corner for two hours and then move on and give someone else a chance. A Waiter tole me his friend does violin and pulls in hundreds a day. Lots of tourists.
