You'll notice that I haven't said much about the usual tavern and bar gigs, and that's because I'm just not much interested in those kinds of employment myself. I think that playing for four or five hours in a noisy, smoke-filled place (that doesn't even serve much that interests me) is too much like hard work. If you have a good dance band, though, these places are prime markets for your musical services.

So, if you want to spread the good feelings that you get from music around— either alone or with your pickin' partners—check out a few of the scenes that I've described. The opportunities are there (and more can be created!). Just believe that the world should have more music, and you'll begin to see the places where that need exists.

A lot of folks have written in to say that they'd like to see more homemade instrument instructions. Well, just hang in there, because I've got a couple of do-it-yourself articles in the works, and more still that are in the "idea'' stage.

I'd also like to apologize for not getting my promised list of upcoming music festivals ready in time for this issue. The information is just about ready, though. I'll try to pass it on to you in MOTHER NO. 57.

And please keep your letters comin'! I've picked up a world of information from readers who enjoy this column, and a lot of those tips will be showing up on these pages in the future. 8
