100 bucks? Cool. The last time I was at a session I got free beer too. They gave me enough to pass out so I couldn't play and ruin their session.

I'm sure I could get paid to play in a session too, and way more than what you got amar. But that's only because they'd be paying me NOT to play :wink:

Really! This is an excellent method to raise funds! I can extract huge sums just by carrying a whistle with me--they'll give any amount if I'll just promise not to play.

I personally find they're willing to pay a little more if I wear a little black Speedo when I make my extortion demands ;)

I am thinking of playing in front of my friend's store in Leavenworth, WA. Some kid goes and plays his accordian and makes $200 a day! :o

Chee, I can make a living off that....too bad Leavenworth is a couple hours away. If I whistled in my city I'd probably get arrested for disturbing the public or something...since my city is so...shall we say...anal?

Dunoon is a blast! There used to be a U.S. naval base there, and when I graduated from high school in 1990 I went over there to visit a friend, a fiddler and guitar player. He brought me to play at a bunch of great sessions and dances, including a barn-raising party and a dance in a Protestant church. The church didn't allow alcohol, so we were passing around teacups of whiskey. :D
Seems like there were a lot of musicians around the town back then, I think the only one I remeber was box player named Graham?

"Fly me to Dunoon...."

Slan,

And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.
