A little wine with your music?

Greg's been busking lately (and every time Kevin hears me say that, he asks, "what is busking?" That's playing out on the streets -- the mean streets of Crystal Lake, baby). Sometimes he makes enough money to make it worthwhile; sometimes he thinks he's singing to himself. This week, while he only made $2 in tips, he got a bigger reward -- an offer of a regular gig!

The owner (manager?) of the downtown CL wine bar came out, asked him to come and play in the wine bar for a while, paid him $40 to do so, then asked if he'd play every Thursday night! He's getting a regular fee and the promise of tips -- well worth the time he spent playing on the corner. If you're not busy on a Thursday, come on down -- just north of the Olympic on Williams Street.

Besides that... gee, not much going on! I'm hoping to get a couple of guest posts soon from some fellow bloggers, and why have you all not written to me and offered your experiences as the parents of performers? Here -- maybe you need some inspiration:

- What was moment you felt yourself tear up over your child's performing?
- If your child is planning on doing this for a career, what's your biggest fear for them?
- Who do you think has had the biggest impact your child's performing, and why? And it can't be you. Even if it is.

Tell me, tell me! Or show me, show me! Send your pix, your MP3 files, I love it all.
