Playing music is a fun and fulfilling way to make a living, but if you are
just a sideman, you don't make much. Like one fellow said,
"I'm making 52.50 a week"' Yep, 52 hamburgers and 50 cents. Well, he was
only joking of course. But you never got rich playing music.
Although you have good memories that will live with you till you die. Also
the music opens a lot of doors for you and always establishes new
friendships.
I was telling a friend of mine, I don't remember
the songs we played, but I remember the people and the things that went on

I was very fortunate to find some expros in this area. I was raised on
the ranch I'm living on now. But I left home at the age of 18, and
moved back at the age of 45. This is a wonderful place to live and
enjoy life. I have a ten acre lake in behind our house, with lots of
bass and catfish in it. We raise Beef Cattle.
