Hi Dave:

Not to worry about us trying to compete in Baltimore or DC areas. We  
have enough going on here locally in our niche market and it's too  
much bother for us old guys to travel too far South of Philadelphia/ 
Wilmington

I could not get my sidemen/woman to go to Baltimore for less than $200  
a man/woman weekdays and $400 on Saturday Night. Add $100 a man for  
Wash DC area. Pretty much prices me out of both areas.

Except for an occasional wedding at the Congressional Country Club,  
that is. VBG

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
