I only had 4 public "gigs" last week, but I also had a film score for a UK college of Dentistry project. This one was on a tight budget....$500.00 a finished minute. Film was 12 minutes long.

Also did a studio session for a national chicken chain. Pay was about what I get for 5 nights for about three house work and a drive to Louisville and back (160 miles). There are also residuals if the flite of spots is extended or the placements are increased. On last year for the same client netted over $5,000.00.

Point is, there is work out there; sometimes it's not what most of us are accustomed to doing.

Doing a Gallery Hop night next week where all the art is the nude form. Now, what's not to like about that?

Images of HAIRY LEGGED, NAKED MEN, that's what!(LOL).

Enjoy whatever, whenever and wherever you play.

Just remember to keep your clothes on!

Believe it or not, as much as I like music score and film production, I miss playing for an appreciative audience, even though, as an entertainer, I SUCK!

Great MUSICIANS, especially in the Jazz genre, often "suck" as entertainers ... but their entertainment is in their music ... smile

Don, this does sound like "music to my ears" There is nothing as good as a musician being kept busy with lovely work like this.

Beautiful.
