I started out on the road doing six nights week, back in the 70's. Did that for 5 years, 'till it broke me and first Hubby up! With this band, we had our best year in 1985, and it's been either downhill or level ever since, with first the changing of liquor laws, then ASCAP and BMI decided to start charging for songs being played publicly, and that caused trouble for awhile, 'til we got some songs written, then DJ's started up and stole most of the Weddings we were used to playing to the tune of anywhere from $500 to $750 a pop! Needless to say, we had to start looking around for other ways to make a living! We've managed to stay together and keep playing, just out of sheer passion.

SSDDIt's the same story around here. It's even getting harder to find GOOD places to play. Many of the bigger clubs in our area have shut down. People just don't seem to come out as much now days. We just keep on rockin but now it's at our pace. It's much more phun than when it was a JOB.

Nope, not going that far with it. We don't want a traditional wedding so I wrote a keyboard tune for Tster to walk down the aisle to.
