httpmembersrogerscomblue- live he also writes country music in the hope of one day selling the songs and although he has bigger dreams than the bars hes playing he has no regrets money but i wouldnt be happy mr blue regularly brings his one- man show to the duchess of markham a venue assistant manager devon crowell says has its roots in live music about a year ago the owner start ed bringing back bands and it has improved business he says we usually pay around 400 a night and for a twopiece band or a solo artist its not too bad if theyre playing five nights a week thats enough to pay the bills

help musicians other local bars may only book live music one or two nights and most not at all mr blue says its really not tough competing with other musicians for the limited gigs the problem is all the other kinds of entertainment out there big screen tvs dont help musi cians he said and people love hockey too theres nothing wrong with that but thats what were competing with and nowadays pubs are looking to be all things to all people and that makes it difficult for musicians but if you have talent self drive and ambition and im not talking about hollywood here you have to be realistic about your goals and still have a passion for what youre doing you can make it in this business kevin greenspan parents children will love comedy cheaper by the dozen in this mustsee comedy of the
