I was in two bands when I was in high school,Now I get a call about every six nonths from a group that lives about one hundred miles away from me. They book play gigs at some monterey or santa cruze blues and jazz clubs.I play an electric acoustic with them about six or seven songs a night.I have a good time and do not want money ,they always pay for my gas and food.

I went too my local drug store today too pick up a couple of things,as I was heading for the cash register I noticed a close out on cds and dvds.They where in a large deep drum.I decided too check and see if they had any stuff i wanted.

All of them were only $1.99 EA.,I feel I got very lucky.Took some time too find them though.
