... just a bit more into the thread creep, if I may.

In truth, I have nothing against having a day job but it gets in the way of music. I cannot do the music development, the booking and the promo activities if I work a day job - nor can I work all over the country as I need to, if I have a day job.

During these slow months of Dec/Jan I have developed a day job of sorts ... I play local sandwich shops and nursing homes several times a week during the day. I am mostly in-town during those months and these little gigs earn me a bit of money while I bide my time for the festival and concert series to begin. I work pubs at nights. Pubs kinda suck - but they earn and they force me to work on my "entertainer" chops - which I really just don;t have.
