| Hook up with an ugly, fat perspective with a respectable portfolio and say, "I do" |

There's a Dorothy Parker quote: "If you ever wanted to know what God thinks about money, just look at the people he gives it to."
I play in a '30s and '40s "standards" band that includes 3 studio musicians. The last time we played out we made a total of $11 in tips, to split 5 ways. It would have been more profitable for us if we had been downloaded. |

| Thanks for the reminder to go to my boss Monday morning and tell him how spiffy he's looking. Looks like you talked me into keeping the day job. If I had a spare voyager it would be yours. |

Chris, Your playing is great, but no sex appeal and everyone knows that sex is what sell

| Mine did okay for me! I'd ordered BLUE but the outcome was better than I could have anticipated. No complaints here, but I did keep my day job. |

Start travelling around to SG shows and play for free at the different "booths". Maybe do some part time low-temperature welding demonstrations.
It might not help your playing, or your stature, but at least you'll feel, if not actually be, "Involved".
Hey. You'll make it.
Maybe a good Church.
I'm praying fer ya.
