Since I my early twenties my music been in demand. A glorious time playing in the best of places, and loving it. Now my audience is getting smaller, the new wave of music is in demand. My phone does not ring very often.
Sooooo ---
I will be playing with a dear freind of mine, he plays Sax, clarinet, flute, and sings a real good tune. We have decided to hold dearly to our love of music.
We will continue to play our instruments wherever and whenever we get calls. And the best part is that money will no longer be a major factor, just music, the love of music.
That means we will play what we like, and where and when we like.
Does that sound a little bit od an attitude? No, it's not meant to be, it's just saying I'm free to enjoy playing music, there is no reason to let up one bit.

God is good, life is good, John C.
