Certainly a mighty steep pyramid to the point where folks are actually earning much of living.
chuckv97 - Posted - 12/19/2016: 10:40:52
It seems I've always been attracted to non- commercial music
OM45GE - Posted - 12/19/2016: 11:51:31
I as well. I started out playing Rock but shifted to folk and bluegrass and then finger style guitar fairly quickly. The only way to make a small fortune in those genres is to start with a big fortune and use it to support yourself.
banjoscotty - Posted - 12/19/2016: 12:15:16
It is not a very profitable profession.
OM45GE - Posted - 12/19/2016: 12:24:31
Gotta do it for love.
chuckv97 - Posted - 12/19/2016: 12:49:58
That's the best way - when I was playing 4 nighters in the '70's for a few months, it got old pretty quick.
OM45GE - Posted - 12/19/2016: 12:52:44
It beats deep shaft coal mining.
chuckv97 - Posted - 12/19/2016: 13:04:20
I guess that's where Monroe and Martin went hunting for band members - one of the greatest fiddlers ever was Kenny Baker who had worked in the coal mines. Merle Travis escaped the mines with his guitar, as you likely know.

There are a lot of pretty crappy ways to earn a living.
chuckv97 - Posted - 12/19/2016: 21:47:07
I think I lived through a few of those jobs
banjoscotty - Posted - 12/20/2016: 02:48:41
The last welding job I was on lasted me for 46 years...Then I retired
OM45GE - Posted - 12/20/2016: 03:16:09
That's a pretty good record of job stability.
banjoscotty - Posted - 12/20/2016: 07:12:00
We raised 6 boys while on that job,,WOW,WHEW,AND GOLLY GEE!!!
OM45GE - Posted - 12/20/2016: 08:01:28
That's impressive. I can barely cope with one sometimes. I don't know that I would like being that outnumbered.
banjoscotty - Posted - 12/20/2016: 11:28:36
Well,we had us some confusion a time or two but we always
managed to work through them.
chuckv97 - Posted - 12/20/2016: 11:30:42
I had two girls - I'm still spoiling them
OM45GE - Posted - 12/20/2016: 12:32:19
I was one of six kids and we were definitely a challenge.
Keep spoiling Chuck.
banjoscotty - Posted - 12/21/2016: 03:55:56
My oldest is 56 years old and I find myself still giving advise,,and he lets me advise.
Although I believe he's smiling inside..HA,HA,,and I let him smile.
chuckv97 - Posted - 12/21/2016: 04:37:48
You never quit being a parent
OM45GE - Posted - 12/21/2016: 06:38:24
Hopefully, at 56 he's realized you're not completely clueless.
banjoscotty - Posted - 12/21/2016: 07:24:57
Growing with those boys sure taught me a lot
OM45GE - Posted - 12/21/2016: 07:33:58
I bet. I was 49 when Ethan was born. I knew a lot more then than I did in my twenties. especially patience. I'm glad I waited.
banjoscotty - Posted - 12/22/2016: 11:54:44
Our family wasn't planned..It happened ..
OM45GE - Posted - 12/22/2016: 12:16:48
I actually thought I never would have kids. Then in my forties I realized I really wanted to.
banjoscotty - Posted - 12/22/2016: 14:42:18
HA,HA,,My dad said a crow pooped me on a stump and the sun hatched me out..
OM45GE - Posted - 12/22/2016: 16:11:29
A crow?
chuckv97 - Posted - 12/22/2016: 18:21:24
A variation on the stork tale
banjoscotty - Posted - 12/23/2016: 01:47:38
Yes,,There are no storks in Ohio..
OM45GE - Posted - 12/23/2016: 02:33:32
Lots of crows though.
banjoscotty - Posted - 12/23/2016: 03:20:30
Lots of stumps too...
chuckv97 - Posted - 12/23/2016: 07:42:06
LW is stumped wondering where to go next
OM45GE - Posted - 12/23/2016: 08:41:26
He said he was planning to stay right here.
chuckv97 - Posted - 12/23/2016: 11:25:18
Negatorri...he emailed me that he's taking the midnight train to Yuma
OM45GE - Posted - 12/23/2016: 13:41:02
He was just pulling your chain, there is no midnight train to Yuma.
banjoscotty - Posted - 12/24/2016: 02:47:48
There might be if LW can hi-jack one.
OM45GE - Posted - 12/24/2016: 04:04:13
I not sure how savvy LW is. He may try to hi-jack a Boston subway.
banjoscotty - Posted - 12/24/2016: 04:37:07
OH,YES,,He can figure out a way to engineer that train in the subway for sure...
OM45GE - Posted - 12/24/2016: 04:52:12
But all the tracks end within city limits.
banjoscotty - Posted - 12/24/2016: 05:41:19
Well,I suppose we had better tell him that,,,,
OM45GE - Posted - 12/24/2016: 11:39:38
It might be funny to see him tell the conductor to take him to Arizona.
chuckv97 - Posted - 12/24/2016: 15:14:08
He could always time travel back to these days
OM45GE - Posted - 12/24/2016: 17:41:57
Get him all steamed up?
janolov - Posted - 12/25/2016: 11:30:19
I want to make a time travel to the time when I had the LW
chuckv97 - Posted - 12/25/2016: 12:01:26
Did you take LW on a ride in your VW?
OM45GE - Posted - 12/25/2016: 14:59:32
I wonder if that's what is bugging him.
banjoscotty - Posted - 12/25/2016: 16:51:04
I don't know..He just bugged out of here.
OM45GE - Posted - 12/25/2016: 18:31:23
It can't be easy being Last Word
banjoscotty - Posted - 12/26/2016: 03:06:17
Well,By Cracky and Dingy Dong,,I went and won the game again!!
OM45GE - Posted - 12/26/2016: 03:44:11
How's that?
banjoscotty - Posted - 12/26/2016: 05:39:00
Because every one lost except me
