I played a few bars way back when, when I thought that any exposure was better than none at all. I have since, like Rick, changed my mind about that. I play music for my own satisfaction now, and I do not play bars. I care not at all about whether I ever become a household name or have any fans. Fortunately I have another means of earning a living...running a small manufacturing outfit...it doesn't pay as well as prostitution, but it keeps me fed! :-)
