Well, back then coffee house performers weren't actaully, ahhhhh, paid in Richmond... A couple years later I was in a band that was paid but I don't really want to talk about my band days 'cause I didn't enjoy my band days...

I did perform coffee house until 1976 purdy regular but never paid...

Fast forward.... Hmmmmmm???

Other than the band I reckon I didn't play solo for money until well into the 90's when I was paid to play at a joint in Leesburg, Va...

Purdy anti-climatic... This was before I gave up my old music and became eclusively a blues player...

Set list would have included:

"Paradise" (John Prine)
"Legend of the Captain's Daughter" (Paul Seibel
"Lay Lady Lay" (Bob Dylan)
"Did Hank Really Make it This Way" (Waylon Jennings)
"Jack Knife Gypsy" (Paul Seibel)
"Sin City" (Flying Burrito Brothers)
"$1000 Car" (Bottle Rockets)
"Belly Full of Tennesee" (John Stewart"

and my originals:

"Jesus Don't Make Housecalls Anymore"
"Arthur and Sally"
"Fill Your Soul"
"Ginny Girl"
"Amtrac Blues"

Those were all staples back then...

Don't do any of them anymore other than a bluesified version of John Prine's "Paradise"...
