I must say it takes patience, time, and much effort to keep working on a musical level being based here in the Boston area! Nothing comes easy! The gigs are getting more scarce! Wow!
Many musicians who live and are based here in New England have been lucky this winter dealing with parking bans and cancelled gigs this winter. It has not been too bad I must say. For many years I was based in Southern California, never even thinking about a gig ever.....
