WHY MUSICIANS PLAY

 "Ask yourself why musicians charge so much for performances. We don't get paid vacation, we don't get paid sick days, we don't get bonuses for outstanding performances. We don't have insurance plans nor do we qualify for unemployment. We sacrifice our family on special days so that we can bring ...happiness to others. Illness or personal affairs are not excuses for a bad performance.Remember that musicians are musicians because of the love of music, but that love doesn't pay debts."See More

ALAMO CAR RENTAL CO. DOES NOT LIVE UP TO CONTRACT

MUSICIANS BEWARE - & all other folks as well; further to the ALAMO RENTAL CAR mess, without a SPARE TIRE in the new vehicle....  while stranded at the side of the road for 5-1/2 hours while they twiddled their thumbs. I SUGGEST y'all NEVER use them as they do not seem to think it was their fault that there was NO SPARE TIRE! If it were not for my CAA never would have gotten out of there. Their reimbursement sucks !

HAVE SOME RESPECT

Grrr… Vancouver newspaper The Province has YET AGAIN printed a photo of GAYE DELORME without permission/by-line, says SUBMITTED PHOTO.Since January 2008 I have been unsuccessful in correcting this.While I don't mind helping musicians with my work, like them, it is appreciated when I am acknowledged!I work hard at my craft with specialized gear.

I have had a lot of Medical problems myself the last few years. I'm able to play even though I am on full disability. I am no longer married and my kids are grown. So there is nothing to keep me from trying, at least I'm not too old for blues. After thirty five years or so of playing blues locally I will be recording my first CD this spring. Don't figure I'll get rich but I should be able to make a living.

The only people I know who have even heard about Sonny round here are musicians, so he'd probably have to play a small room. It's really sad but that's the way it is with a lot of great players.

It's not easy. I am trying to play myself. You got love it.
