One of the problems I find with being a musician and therefore 'creative' is that my needs and wants change constantly. I was playing over Christmas with a group of folk musicians at a small harbour town called Watchet in Somerset at a place called the Esplanade Club. The people who run the club are mega friendly. It was great to play again with some musicians I haven't played with for a while. But there is a big world out there calling out with new places to play and new experiences. One of the great things about folk music sessions is that there is always another one in the next town and our restless musical spirits keep calling us to get out there and check them out. Bye for now Rob Hi Aaron

It's looked at as a polite way of begging if you take tips (money). Europe, where I once lived, was much more open to the performing arts for the average player. I wish that my wife and I could return someday. Cheers! Oops, I mean, take care folks. Jake Being here in the USA presents a challenge for any musician who wants to play in public.
