Great ideas and thoughts, Gary.  I'm doing my acoustic solo act in  coffee 
houses down here in good ole NC and the occasional IPO and  Sparklefest.  I play 
for lots of kids, mostly them and their parents from  the school where I 
teach piano.  It's tons 'o fun, especially when the  youngsters acquire my CD's 
and listen to them non stop.  It's a big deal  for them, and hopefully will 
inspire them to take some sort of musical  journey like I've been blessed with all 
my life.  I'm almost finished with  my newest album (the first in 5 years), 
and when I am, I'll be playing out even  more, maybe even coming to a coffee 
shop near ya'll!   DIY is  wonderful, especially when it's just you.  It tends 
to lessen the ego  battles.
your pal,
Tony
