It has been a long freezing winter, however my bandmate and I have managed to keep practicing in the streets and in clubs the whole time.
- I guess the people I was with and I play about many or many times a month during winter, however the people I was with and I make up for it in the summer, playing up to many times a month during the busy season.
Both of us make about $100 a day in tips during the summertime, so it is hard to not play a lot. I make about $1300 a month in the summer, which pays all of my bills for the week. I do HVAC technology sales too, so I am able to save a wonderful amount each month or drop it in an investment. I guess next year I am going to just do tunes for my job and stop working for the local supplier. I have been doing sizzling water boiler repairs the past few years, along with some heat pump installs, however tunes is going to start taking more of my time so I will have to stop doing it, however both of us plan on playing in the ski resorts during the winters now, so that will put us on stage entirely many evenings a week. Both of us will play in ski cabins heated by fireplaces in front of a bunch of cheerful skiers and I guess it will be a lot of fun for us all, which is more fun than playing next to a boring space heater. Our tunes is made up on the spot, which is what makes it so fun for me and for the crowd.
