Some mighty good advise there, thanks.

Our youngest son will finish high school next spring, so we are very near "empty nesters". We are looking at a lot more time on our hands then. Our plan is to work on a demo CD and our package, and scout out a few prospects this year, test the waters as it where.

There are still a lot of people around here that volunteer, God Bless them. But I still think there is a need for our type of low budget operation...

Out setup is almost nothing, my acoustic guitar a stool and music stand, sometimes harmonica, my wife shakes an egg or tamborine. I do have a nice 100 watt acoustic amp, on wheels when needed.

Your sliding scale is just what I had in mind.

When it comes time, I was leaning toward paying a visit to area Homes and meeting the AD face to face, I thought I might get a better feel for how interested they are?
Thought I could use the visit to case the location and see if the amp would be needed...
