As of right now the rest of this year will as good as any in the last 20 for the band I have played with. One bar we play in, Coleman's, in Syracuse NY books us on a yearly basis. Add to that the new band I am in and we have a busy schedule. This is a good thing for me as the jewelry business is just about down to stiffle. Here in Central New York State therr are more venues than there ever have been and live acoustic music is thriving. There have been a couple legit coffee house type joints that have opened here in the last few years.

I am by no way suggesting I live in the economic promised land for folk singers. This year won't tell the story. It will be in November we will the feast or the famine. But right now things aren't too bad.
