I am recouping from the music we played last night and trying to get my energy back so we can do it again tonight.
We didn’t make any money last night playing, but our goal is to just practice and that is what we got accomplished.
The money we make when we play is just an added bonus and we are both very grateful for anything that comes our way while we practice our craft. Some nights we pull in $450 on a busy night in one of the busy towns, which is pretty good for playing music. The local business where we play in front of gets a good crowd of people, especially when they have an HVAC sale on all of their systems in the store. I would like to do a gig inside the place one day and see how many people we can pack in there. They have good heating in the place, so if we played there during the winter we wouldn’t have to worry about not having any climate control while we played for a couple of hours. I think they will have us play there next winter if we can keep bringing in the crowds like we have been. There is another heating supplier shop on the beach that is talking about having us play there this summer, and I am hoping that they have a good mini split a/c unit to keep us cool while we play in the heat. I think they have some ceiling fans, so in the worst case scenario we can play under one of them.
