 there is only one of you to sell for a particular night.  >>

Hi Larry,

why is that?  Form another group. There is a guy I used to play for who runs 
a group called `French Connection`.  He can be covering 5 different gigs on 
the same night. All with different guys making up the band. All under the 
French Connection` label.

Don`t your newspapers announce Engagements?.  I always read them and then 
rang  up the happy couple and angled for the wedding gig.

In my building materials business I always read in the local weekly 
newspaper the list of Planning Permissions that had been granted then rang 
up the person concerned and sold materials.

Once I just went  to a local pub, had a drink and talked the landlord into 
giving me a gig, `just to see how it goes `. That gig went on once a week 
for 5 years.

Cheers

Pat
