Re: [Harp-L] Re: Bad economy effecting gigs

[<venkyr@xxxxxxx>]

  Don't blame it all on economy or as some have it-
  GW, global warming, war, Robin Hood or who have you?
  You can do one of several 21st Century things-
   
  a) Bring your own crowd
  b) Don't do LW lick by lick
  c) Do some Rock-n-Roll stuff (like Magic Dick, Jason
  Ricci, Mitch Kashmar)
  d) Give harmonica lessons
  e) Get a day job
  f) Promote yourself and promote harp-L
  g) Get into the Karaoke business
  h) Create/ sell harp-related merchandise
  i) Get your spouse/ partner involved
  j) Talk to Chevy, Cadillac, VW, Heineken or other
  businesses that use harmonica in ads
   
  Really. If you can get the crowd dancing, the clubs
  and bars will want you over and over. Back in the
  days it was a struggle, these days it is a breeze.
   
  That stimulus check..... is virtual for now!
